Heptagonal pyramidal number

In mathematics, a heptagonal pyramidal number is a special type of figurate number that represents the number of balls needed to construct a pyramid with a heptagonal base. The heptagonal pyramidal numbers are generated using a specific formula based on the value of 'n', where 'n' represents the nth term in the sequence of heptagonal pyramidal numbers. In this article, we will explore the concept of heptagonal pyramidal numbers, understand the formula to generate them, and implement a program to print the initial 'k' heptagonal pyramidal numbers.

Understanding Heptagonal Pyramidal Numbers

Heptagonal pyramidal numbers are a subset of figurate numbers. A figurate number is a polygonal number representing the number of dots or balls required to form a regular polygon. A heptagonal pyramidal number can be visualized as a pyramid built using heptagonal layers of balls.

Let's consider the first few heptagonal pyramidal numbers for a better understanding: 1st heptagonal pyramidal number = 1 (a single ball forms the base pyramid) 2nd heptagonal pyramidal number = 8 (a pyramid with 7 balls in the base layer and 1 ball on top) 3rd heptagonal pyramidal number = 26 (a pyramid with 7 balls in the base layer, 6 balls in the second layer, and 1 ball on top)

Formula for Heptagonal Pyramidal Numbers

The formula to calculate the nth heptagonal pyramidal number is as follows: Heptagonal_pyramidal(n) = (n * (n + 1) * ((5 * n) - 2)) / 6

Pseudocode for Printing Heptagonal Pyramidal Numbers: To print the first 'k' heptagonal pyramidal numbers, we need to iterate from n = 0 to n = k-1 and calculate the corresponding value using the formula mentioned above. Here's the pseudocode for the same:

function heptagonalPyramidalNumbers(k):
    for n from 0 to k-1:
        result = (n * (n + 1) * ((5 * n) - 2)) / 6
        print result

Algorithm Explanation

  1. Start the function heptagonalPyramidalNumbers(k).
  2. Loop through n from 0 to k-1 using a for loop.
  3. Calculate the nth heptagonal pyramidal number using the formula (n * (n + 1) * ((5 * n) - 2)) / 6 and store it in the variable 'result'.
  4. Print the value of 'result' on the screen.
  5. Repeat steps 3-4 for each value of n in the loop to get all the initial k heptagonal pyramidal numbers.
  6. End the function.

Code Solution

Here given code implementation process.

// C Program for
// Heptagonal pyramidal number
#include <stdio.h>

void heptagonalPyramidalNo(int k)
{
	// Print all initial k Heptagonal pyramidal number
	for (int n = 0; n < k; ++n)
	{
		// Formula
		//  n (n + 1) (5n - 2) 
		//  ———————————————————
		//         6
      
		// Calculate nth Heptagonal pyramidal number
		int result = (n * (n + 1) * ((5 * n) - 2)) / 6;
      
		// Display calculated result
		printf("  %d", result);
	}
}
int main()
{
	// Heptagonal pyramidal number are
	// —————————————————————————————————————————————

Time Complexity

The time complexity of the given code is O(k) because we are calculating the first 'k' heptagonal pyramidal numbers using a loop that runs from 0 to k-1.

Result and Output Explanation: For the given C code, when the function heptagonalPyramidalNo(10) is called, it calculates and prints the first 10 heptagonal pyramidal numbers, which are: 0 1 8 26 60 115 196 308 456 645

Finally Heptagonal pyramidal numbers are an interesting concept in mathematics that represents the number of balls needed to construct pyramids with heptagonal bases. The formula provided in the article can be used to calculate these numbers efficiently. The C program demonstrated in the article successfully prints the initial 'k' heptagonal pyramidal numbers. Understanding figurate numbers like heptagonal pyramidal numbers not only enhances our mathematical knowledge but also helps us appreciate the beauty and patterns in number sequences.
