Python Program for Number of elements with odd factors in the given range

In this article, we will learn about the solution to the problem statement given below.

Problem statement − We are given a range, we need to find the number of odd factors in the range.

Approach

As we all know that all perfect squares have an odd number of factors in a range. So here we will compute a number of perfect squares.

As m and n both are inclusive, so to avoid error in case of n being a perfect square we take n-1 in the formulae.

Now let’s see the implementation below−

Example

 Live Demo

# count function
def count(n, m):
   return int(m**0.5) - int((n-1)**0.5)
# main
n = 25
m = 400
print("Number of odd squares are: ", count(n, m))

Output

Number of odd squares are: 16

All the variables and functions are declared in the global scope as shown in the figure above.

Conclusion

In this article, we have learned how we can find the number of elements with odd factors in a given range.
