Coding Challenge - 3

The document describes a coding challenge to find the nth term of a specific series composed of even numbers at odd indices and derived values at even indices. The even terms are calculated using the formula (x/2) based on the previous term. The program should output only the nth term without any additional text or messages.

TCS CODING CHALLENGE - 3

Consider the below series :

0,0,2,1,4,2,6,3,8,4,10,5,12,6,14,7,16,8

∑ This series is a mixture of 2 series all the odd terms in this series form
even numbers in ascending order
∑ Every even terms is derived from the previous term using the formula
(x/2)

Write a program to find the nth term in this series.

1. The value n in a positive integer that should be read from STDIN the nth
term that is calculated by the program should be written to STDOUT.
2. Other than the value of the nth term no other characters /strings or
message should be written to STDOUT.

For example

if n=10,the 10 th term in the series is to be derived from the 9th term in the
series. The 9th term is 8 so the 10th term is (8/2)=4. Only the value 4 should be
printed to STDOUT.

You can assume that the n will not exceed 20,000.
