Given a number "n", find its total number of divisors are even or odd.
We can observe that the number of divisors is odd only in case of perfect squares. Hence the best solution would be to check if the given number is perfect square or not. If it’s a perfect square, then the number of divisors would be odd, else it’d be even.
void countDivisors(int n){ int root_n = sqrt(n); // If n is a perfect square, then // it has odd divisors if (root_n*root_n == n) printf("Odd\n"); else printf("Even\n");}
A naive approach would be to find all the divisors and then see if the total number of divisors is even or odd.
Time complexity for such a solution would be O(sqrt(n))
void countDivisors(int n){ // Initialize count of divisors int count = 0; // Note that this loop runs till square root for (int i=1; i<=sqrt(n)+1; i++) { if (n%i==0) // If divisors are equal,increment // count by one // Otherwise increment count by 2 count += (n/i == i)? 1 : 2; } if (count%2==0) printf("Even\n"); else printf("Odd\n");}
