Math::NumSeq::StarNumbers -- star numbers 6*i*(i-1)+1
use Math::NumSeq::StarNumbers; my $seq = Math::NumSeq::StarNumbers->new; my ($i, $value) = $seq->next;
The sequence of star numbers 1, 13, 37, 73, 121, etc, 6*i*(i-1)+1, also called the centred 12-gonals.
See "FUNCTIONS" in Math::NumSeq for behaviour common to all sequence classes.
$seq = Math::NumSeq::StarNumbers->new ()
Create and return a new sequence object.
$value = $seq->ith($i)
Return 6*$i*($i-1)+1.
6*$i*($i-1)+1
$bool = $seq->pred($value)
Return true if $value is of the form 6*i*(i-1)+1 for some i.
$value
$i = $seq->value_to_i_floor($value)
$i = $seq->value_to_i_estimate($value)
Return the i for the star number <= $value.
