You are given a number n, the task is to find the nth Decagonal number. A decagonal number is a figurate number that extends the concept of triangular and square numbers to the decagon (a ten-sided polygon). The nth decagonal numbers counts the number of dots in a pattern of n nested decagons, all sharing a common corner, where the ith decagon in the pattern has sides made of i dots spaced one unit apart from each other.

Examples: 

Input : n = 3
Output : 27

Input : n = 7
Output : 175
 
 


The n-th decagonal number is given by the formula 
(4n 2 - 3n)

C++
// C++ program to find nth decagonal number
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to calculate decagonal number
int decagonal(int n)
{
    // Formula for finding nth decagonal number
    return 4 * n * n - 3 * n;
}
 
// Driver function
int main()
{
    int n = 10;
    cout << n << "th decagonal number :" << decagonal(n);
    return 0;
}
Java
// JAVA Code for Decagonal Numbers
import java.util.*;

class GFG {

    // Function to calculate 
    // decagonal number
    static int decagonal(int n) 
    {
        // Formula for finding nth
        // decagonal number
        return 4 * n * n - 3 * n;
    }
    
    /* Driver function */
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {    
        int n = 10;
        System.out.println(n + "th decagonal number :"
                            + decagonal(n));
    }
