Shape Area


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] 0.5 seconds (cpp)

  • [input] integer n

    Guaranteed constraints:
    1 ≤ n < 10^4^.

  • [output] integer

    The area of the n-interesting polygon.



Solution

int solution(int n) {
    if(n==1){
        return 1;
    }
    return solution(n-1) + 4 * (n-1);
}
