"""

A hexagonal number sequence is a sequence of figurate numbers
|
||
|
|
where the nth hexagonal number hₙ is the number of distinct dots
|
||
|
|
in a pattern of dots consisting of the outlines of regular
|
||
|
|
hexagons with sides up to n dots, when the hexagons are overlaid
|
||
|
|
so that they share one vertex.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Calculates the hexagonal numbers sequence with a formula
|
||
|
|
hₙ = n(2n-1)
|
||
|
|
where:
|
||
|
|
hₙ --> is nth element of the sequence
|
||
|
|
n --> is the number of element in the sequence
