Does anyone know how to program a number generator that generates triangular, cubed and squared numbers that are the same, in any programming language. Or even if you know of an existing program that does this for you.

I don't expect people here to spoonfeed me information, I was just hoping one of you might help me out this once.

If not you can flame me if you wish because this post was perhaps not appropriate for this forum or board.

YOU STUPID SHIT-EATING SON OF A FUCK!! I'M GONNA FLAME YOU TIL I'M BLUE IN THE GODDAMN FACE!  

Just kidding.

I can't give you any specifics, but programs like that exist.  I used to toy around with BASIC, and that was one of the first things I learned.  Don't ask me how, this was a while ago.

On a related subject, I wrote a program that found prime numbers in Java. Pretty neat, especially since you practically need a Cray-1000 to go above a few billion. I was toying with the idea of loading it onto a local server and setting it to run in a few simultaneous processes to really eat up some Ethernet cables. W00t!

So would one of you mind sending me some source code, I'l compile it (don't try the old trojan source code exploit trick, I'm gonna check the code :-D).

Goblin, trianhular numbers are numbers that if that number of dots is arranged properly can form the shape of a triangle, like the pool balls in the triangle.
    For example
1                  .
3                 . .
6                . . .
10             . . . .
15            . . . . .


You get it, triangular numbers are a pretty basic mathematical principle, I think the formula

(n+1)squared -(n+1)
------------------------
            2

Generates triangular numbers but I'm not sure

OK The thing with the dots didn't work how I wanted it to but you get the point, I hope

I'm learning C++, and the way things look, they're all possible.  That doesn't mean I know how to do them, but they're all possible  :D

I could whip that up in C++ in no time at all.  But I'm not going to do it for you.  I'll give you some hints if you want but you will have to do the hard work yourself its the only way you will learn.

So you what exactly do you want this program to do?

Input a number, and print it's square, cube, and triangle?

The hosting is A.F.U.  CG's got a new forum up and running (sort of), but it looks like he's having trouble getting the old database transferred over.
