I've been stuck on this for a while now and was wondering if you could help.
The question is:
"A pentagonal number is defined as n(3n - 1)/2 for n = 1,2 etc. So, the first
few numbers are 1, 5, 12, 22 etc. Write a function with the following header
that returns a pentagonal number:
def getPentagonalNumber(n):
Write a test program that uses this function to display the first 100
pentagonal numbers with 10 numbers on each line."
I am very new at programming and if you could help me out at all by putting
this is the simplest terms, that would be extremely helpful!
Thanks!
