06 Feb shape Area
Below we will define an n
-interesting polygon. Your task is to find the area of a polygon for a given n
.
A 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 besolution(n) = 5
; - For
n = 3
, the output should besolution(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)
