Hexagonal number sequence (#5640)

Browse Source 
* Hexagonal number sequence 

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.

This program returns the hexagonal number sequence of n length.

* Update hexagonalnumbers.py

* Update hexagonalnumbers.py

* Update hexagonalnumbers.py

* Update hexagonalnumbers.py

* Update and rename hexagonalnumbers.py to hexagonal_numbers.py

* Length must be a positive integer

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

Calculates the hexagonal numbers sequence with a formula
hₙ = n(2n-1)

hₙ --> is nth element of the sequence
n --> is the number of element in the sequence
