FAQ

Can n be decimal?

No. Triangular numbers are defined here for whole numbers only.

Is zero allowed?

Yes. T0 = 0.

What if n is negative?

The calculator rejects negative values.

Can this overflow?

Very large integers may exceed safe integer precision, so the tool stays within safe whole numbers.
