Find Sequences
Problem Overview
- Find all sequences of consecutive positive integers whose squares sum to a given n.
- Input: single integer n (1 ≤ n ≤ 10^10); Output: first a count k, then k strings each starting with length c followed by the c numbers, ordered by decreasing c.
- Focuses on number theory and sequence decomposition with strict output formatting.
- A coding interview problem suitable for practicing parsing and math logic.
- From Trend_micro interviews and commonly asked as an interview question.
