Below we will define an n-interesting polygon. Your task is to find the area of a polygon for a given n.

1-interesting polygon is just a square with a side of length 1. An n-interesting polygon is obtained by taking the n - 1-interesting polygon and appending 1-interesting polygons to its rim, side by side. You can see the 1-, 2-, 3– and 4-interesting polygons in the picture below.

Example

  • For n = 2, the output should be
    solution(n) = 5;
  • For n = 3, the output should be
    solution(n) = 13.

Input/Output

  • [execution time limit] 4 seconds (py3)
  • [input] integer nGuaranteed constraints:
    1 ≤ n < 104.
  • [output] integerThe area of the n-interesting polygon.

 

def solution(n):
    if n == 1:
        return 1
    return solution(n – 1) + 4 * (n – 1)
