* Rename all Project Euler directories: Reason: The change was done to maintain consistency throughout the directory and to keep all directories in sorted order. Due to the above change, some config files had to be modified: 'problem_22` -> `problem_022` * Update scripts to pad zeroes in PE directories

Problem 44: https://projecteuler.net/problem=44
|
||
|
||
Pentagonal numbers are generated by the formula, Pn=n(3n−1)/2. The first ten
|
||
pentagonal numbers are:
|
||
1, 5, 12, 22, 35, 51, 70, 92, 117, 145, ...
|
||
It can be seen that P4 + P7 = 22 + 70 = 92 = P8. However, their difference,
|
||
70 − 22 = 48, is not pentagonal.
|
||
|
||
Find the pair of pentagonal numbers, Pj and Pk, for which their sum and difference
|
||
are pentagonal and D = |Pk − Pj| is minimised; what is the value of D?
