# isSquareTriangularNumber

> Test if a value is a square [triangular number][@stdlib/assert/is-triangular-number].

<section class="intro">
26+
27+
A **square triangular number** is an integer value which is both a [square number][@stdlib/assert/is-square-number] and a [triangular number][@stdlib/assert/is-triangular-number].
28+
29+
[Triangular numbers][@stdlib/assert/is-triangular-number] can be computed using the following formula
30+
31+
<!-- <equation class="equation" label="eq:triangular_number" align="center" raw="T_n = \frac{n(n+1)}{2}" alt="Triangular number formula."> -->
32+
33+
<div class="equation" align="center" data-raw-text="T_n = \frac{n(n+1)}{2}" data-equation="eq:triangular_number">
34+
<img src="" alt="Triangular number formula.">
35+
<br>
36+
</div>
37+
38+
<!-- </equation> -->
39+
40+
for `n >= 0`.
41+
42+
By analogy with the square root of `x`, one can define the positive triangular root of `x` such that `T_n = x`
43+
44+
<!-- <equation class="equation" label="eq:triangular_root" align="center" raw="n = \frac{\sqrt{8x+1} - 1}{2}" alt="Triangular root formula."> -->
45+
46+
<div class="equation" align="center" data-raw-text="n = \frac{\sqrt{8x+1} - 1}{2}" data-equation="eq:triangular_root">
47+
<img src="" alt="Triangular root formula.">
48+
<br>
49+
</div>
50+
51+
<!-- </equation> -->
52+
53+
Accordingly, an integer `x` is a [triangular number][@stdlib/assert/is-triangular-number] **if and only** if `8x+1` is a [square number][@stdlib/assert/is-square-number].

## Usage
62+
63+
```javascript
64+
var isSquareTriangularNumber = require( '@stdlib/assert/is-square-triangular-number' );
65+
```
66+
67+
#### isSquareTriangularNumber( value )
68+
69+
Tests if a `value` is a square [triangular number][@stdlib/assert/is-triangular-number].
70+
71+
<!-- eslint-disable no-new-wrappers -->
72+
73+
```javascript
74+
var Number = require( '@stdlib/number/ctor' );
75+
76+
var bool = isSquareTriangularNumber( 36.0 );
77+
// returns true
78+
79+
bool = isSquareTriangularNumber( new Number( 36.0 ) );
80+
// returns true
81+
82+
bool = isSquareTriangularNumber( 3.14 );
83+
// returns false
84+
85+
bool = isSquareTriangularNumber( -5.0 );
86+
// returns false
87+
88+
bool = isSquareTriangularNumber( NaN );
89+
// returns false
90+
91+
bool = isSquareTriangularNumber( null );
92+
// returns false
93+
```
94+
95+
#### isSquareTriangularNumber.isPrimitive( value )
96+
97+
Tests if a `value` is a primitive square [triangular number][@stdlib/assert/is-triangular-number].
98+
99+
<!-- eslint-disable no-new-wrappers -->
100+
101+
```javascript
102+
var Number = require( '@stdlib/number/ctor' );
103+
104+
var bool = isSquareTriangularNumber.isPrimitive( 36.0 );
105+
// returns true
106+
107+
bool = isSquareTriangularNumber.isPrimitive( new Number( 36.0 ) );
108+
// returns false
109+
```
110+
111+
#### isSquareTriangularNumber.isObject( value )
112+
113+
Tests if a `value` is a `Number` object having a value which is a square [triangular number][@stdlib/assert/is-triangular-number].
114+
115+
<!-- eslint-disable no-new-wrappers -->
116+
117+
```javascript
118+
var Number = require( '@stdlib/number/ctor' );
119+
120+
var bool = isSquareTriangularNumber.isObject( 36.0 );
121+
// returns false
122+
123+
bool = isSquareTriangularNumber.isObject( new Number( 36.0 ) );
124+
// returns true
125+
```
