# Program to check whether a number is Proth number or not in C++

C++Server Side ProgrammingProgramming

Given with a number ‘n’ and the task is to determine whether the given positive integer is a proth or not and display the result as an output.

## What is Proth Number?

A proth number is given by

$$N=k\cdot\:2^{n}+1$$

Where, n is a positive integer and k is a odd positive integer

The first few proth numbers are given below −

3, 5, 9, 13, 17, 25, 33, 41, 49, 57, 65, 81, 97.......

Input

number: 17

Output

its a proth number

Input

number: 18

Output

its not a proth number

## Approach used in the given program is as follows

• Input the number to check for the condition

• Apply the given formula to check whether its a proth number or not

• If the condition holds true print its a proth number

• If the condition doesn’t holds true print its not a proth number

## Algorithm

Step 1→ declare function to calculate power of 2
bool isPower(int num)
return (num && !(num & (num - 1)))
Step 2→ Declare function to check if a number is a proth number or not
bool isProth(int num)
declare int k = 1
While (k < (num / k))
IF (num % k == 0)
IF (isPower(num / k))
return true
End
Set k = k + 2
End
End
return false
Step 3→ In main()
Declare int num = 17
IF (isProth(num - 1))
Print "its a proth number"
End
Else
Print "its not a proth number"
End

## Example

Live Demo

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
//function to calculate power of 2
bool isPower(int num){
return (num && !(num & (num - 1)));
}
//function to check if a number is a proth number
bool isProth(int num){
int k = 1;
while (k < (num / k)){
if (num % k == 0){
if (isPower(num / k))
return true;
}
k = k + 2;
}
return false;
}
int main(){
int num = 17;
if (isProth(num - 1))
cout << "its a proth number";
else
cout << "its not a proth number";
return 0;
}

## Output

If run the above code it will generate the following output −

its a proth number
