Count squares of size K inscribed in a square of size N

Given two integers N and K, the task is to find the number of squares of size K that is inscribed in a square of size N.

Examples:

Input: N = 4, K = 2
Output: 9
Explanation:
There are 9 squares of size 2 inscribed in a square of size 4.

Input: N = 5, K = 3
Output: 9
Explanation:
There are 9 squares of size 3 inscribed in a square of size 5.

Approach: The key observation to solve the problem is that the total number of squares in a square of size N is (N * (N + 1)* (2*N + 1)) / 6. Therefore, the total number of squares of size K possible from a square of size N are:

(N - K + 1) * (N - K + 1)

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++




// C++ implementation of the
// above approach
 
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to calculate the number
// of squares of size K in a square
// of size N
int No_of_squares(int N, int K)
{
    // Stores the number of squares
    int no_of_squares = 0;
 
    no_of_squares
        = (N - K + 1) * (N - K + 1);
 
    return no_of_squares;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    // Size of the
    // bigger square
    int N = 5;
 
    // Size of
    // smaller square
    int K = 3;
    cout << No_of_squares(N, K);
    return 0;
}


Java




// Java implementation of the
// above approach
import java.util.*;
class GFG{
 
// Function to calculate the
// number of squares of size
// K in a square of size N
static int No_of_squares(int N,
                         int K)
{
  // Stores the number
  // of squares
  int no_of_squares = 0;
 
  no_of_squares = (N - K + 1) *
                  (N - K + 1);
 
  return no_of_squares;
}
 
// Driver Code
public static void main(String[] args)
{
  // Size of the
  // bigger square
  int N = 5;
 
  // Size of
  // smaller square
  int K = 3;
  System.out.print(No_of_squares(N, K));
}
}

    return no_of_squares;
