## Project Euler 42–Coded triangle numbers

Wu Yudong    August 20, 2018     欧拉计划   12

Coded triangle numbers

The nth term of the sequence of triangle numbers is given by, tn = 1/2n(n+1); so the first ten triangle numbers are:

1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, 55, …
By converting each letter in a word to a number corresponding to its alphabetical position and adding these values we form a word value. For example, the word value for SKY is 19 + 11 + 25 = 55 = t10. If the word value is a triangle number then we shall call the word a triangle word.

Using words.txt(right click and ‘Save Link/Target As…’), a 16K text file containing nearly two-thousand common English words, how many are triangle words?

1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, 55, …
