Vanya got n cubes. He decided to build a pyramid from them. Vanya wants to build the pyramid as follows: the top level of the pyramid must consist of 1 cube, the second level must consist of 1 + 2 = 3 cubes, the third level must have 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 cubes, and so on. Thus, the i-th level of the pyramid must have 1 + 2 + … + (i - 1) + i cubes.

Vanya wants to know what is the maximum height of the pyramid that he can make using the given cubes.

Input
The first line contains integer n (1 ≤ n ≤ 104) — the number of cubes given to Vanya.

Output
Print the maximum possible height of the pyramid in the single line.

问题简述：金字塔型，第一层是1，第二层是1+2，第三层是1+2+3……第n层是1+2+3+……+n。给出一个数字n，计算n最多可以叠的层数。

问题分析：利用函数计算第1层到第i层所需的数量sum。将sum与n比较，直到sum等于n，输出层数，或者sum大于n，输出层数-1。

程序说明：使用了函数，并且循环判断。

AC通过的C语言程序如下：
#include
using namespace std;
int k, j, i, n, m;
int sum = 0;
int a(int i)
{
for(m = 1;m<=i;m++)
{
sum += m;
}
return sum;
}
int main()
{
cin >> n;
j = 1;
for (i = 1; i <= j; i++)
{
a(i);
if (sum == n)
{
cout << i << endl;
return 0;
}
else if (sum > n)
{
cout << i - 1 << endl;
return 0;
}
else
{
j++;
}
}

}
