Nonagonal Number in Java

In this section, we will learn what is a nonagonal number and also create Java programs to check if the given number is a nonagonal number or not. The nonagonal number program is frequently asked in Java coding interviews and academics.

Nonagonal Number

Nonagonal numbers are the figurate numbers of the form n(7n-5)/2. If n is a nonagonal number, then 7n+3 will be a triangular number. It extends the concept of triangular and square numbers to the nonagon. It is also known as a 9-gonal or enneagonal number. It is an OEIS sequence A001106.

It counts the number of dots in a pattern of n nested nonagons that has 9-sides. All share a common corner, where the i-th nonagon in the pattern has sides made of i dots spaced one unit apart from each other. N₂

Types of Nonagonal Numbers

Centered Nonagonal Number
Second 9-gonal or Nonagonal Number
3-time Nonagonal Number
Twice Nonagonal Number
Palindromic Nonagonal Number

Let's discuss each in detail.

Nonagonal Number Example

First few nonagonal numbers are:

1, 9, 24, 46, 75, 111, 154, 204, 261, 325, 396, 474, 559, 651, 750, 856, 969, 1089, 1216, 1350, 1491, 1639, 1794, 1956, 2125, 2301, 2484, 2674, 2871, 3075, 3286, 3504, 3729, 3961, 4200, 4446, 4699, 4959, 5226, 5500, 5781, 6069, 6364.

Formula to Find Nonagonal Number

We can find the n-th nonagonal number by using the following formula:

N_n = n (7n - 5) / 2

Let's implement the above steps in a Java program.

Nonagonal Number Java Program

NonagonalNumberExample.java

import java.util.Scanner;
public class NonagonalNumberExample
{
//function to find nonagonal number
static int isNonagonal(int n)
{
//determines the n-th nonagonal number
return n * (7 * n - 5) / 2;
}
//driver code
public static void main(String args[])
{
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter the term you want to find: ");
int n=sc.nextInt();
System.out.println("The "+n+" rd/th nonagonal number is: "+isNonagonal(n));
}
}

Output:

Enter the term you want to find: 4
The 4 rd/th nonagonal number is: 46

Centered Nonagonal Numbers

It is also a figurate number that can be calculated by using the following formula:

N_n = 9n(n-1)/2+1

It is an OEIS sequence A060544. Note that every third triangular number of the sequence A000217 is a nonagonal number.

Centered Nonagonal Number Example

Formula to Find Centered Nonagonal Number

We can calculate the centered nonagonal numbers by using the following formula:

N_n = 9n(n-1)/2+1

Centered Nonagonal Number Java Program

CenteredNonagonalNumberExample.java

import java.util.Scanner;
public class CenteredNonagonalNumberExample
{
//function to find the centered nonagonal number
static int isNonagonal(int n)
{
//determines the n-th centered nonagonal number
return 9*n*(n-1)/2+1;
}
//driver code
public static void main(String args[])
{
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter the term you want to find: ");
int n=sc.nextInt();
System.out.println("The "+n+" rd/th centered nonagonal number is: "+isNonagonal(n));
}
}

Output:

Enter the term you want to find: 25
The 25 rd/th centered nonagonal number is: 2701

Second 9-gonal or Nonagonal Number

It is also a figurate number that can be find by using the following formula:

N_n = n*(7*n+5)/2

It is an OEIS sequence A179986.

Second 9-gonal Number Example

First few 9-gonal numbers are:

6, 19, 39, 66, 100, 141, 189, 244, 306, 375, 451, 534, 624, 721, 825, 936, 1054, 1179, 1311, 1450, 1596, 1749, 1909, 2076, 2250, 2431, 2619, 2814, 3016, 3225, 3441, 3664, 3894, 4131, 4375, 4626, 4884, 5149, 5421, 5700, 5986, 6279, 6579, 6886.

3-Times Nonagonal Numbers

There is another OEIS sequence A152759 that is also a 9-gonal number or nonagonal number. But it is 3-times of the sequence A001106. It means that we can calculate the 3- times 9-gonal by using any of the following formula:

N_n= 3*(n*(7*n-5)/2)

N_n= (21n^2 - 15n)/2

A001106(n)*3

{
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter the term you want to find: ");
int n=sc.nextInt();
System.out.println("The "+n+" rd/th 3-times nonagonal number is: "+isNonagonal(n));
}
}

}
}

Palindromic Nonagonal Numbers

Palindromic nonagonal numbers are numbers that can be written from both sides (right to left and left to right) without changing the value. A number that has an even number of digits cannot be a palindromic nonagonal number. It is an OEIS sequence A082723.

Palindromic Nonagonal Number Example

Palindromic Nonagonal Number Java program

The following Java program checks whether the given number is palindromic nonagonal or not.

PalindromicNonagonalExample.java

import java.util.Scanner;
public class PalindromicNonagonalExample
{
public static void main(String[] args) 
{
int num, reversedNum = 0, remainder;
// store the number to originalNum

Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter the number you want to check: ");
num=sc.nextInt();
int originalNum = num;
//logic to reverse a number
while (num != 0) 
{
remainder = num % 10;
reversedNum = reversedNum * 10 + remainder;
num = num/10;
}
//check if reversedNum and originalNum are equal or not
if (originalNum == reversedNum) 
{
//if equal print palindromic nonagonal
System.out.println(originalNum + " is palindromic nonagonal.");
}
else 
{
//if not equal, print palindromic nonagonal    
System.out.println(originalNum + " is not palindromic nonagonal.");
}
}
}

Output 1:

Enter the number you want to check: 6964696
6964696 is palindromic nonagonal.

Output 2:

Enter the number you want to check: 4411144
4411144 is palindromic nonagonal.
