Check whether the number formed by concatenating two numbers is a perfect square or not

Last Updated : 11 Jul, 2025

Given two numbers a and b and the task is to check whether the concatenation of a and b is a perfect square or not.
Examples: 
 

Input: a = 1, b = 21 
Output: Yes 
121 = 11 × 11, is a perfect square.

Input: a = 100, b = 100 
Output: No 
100100 is not a perfect square. 


 


Approach: Initialize the number as strings initially and concatenate them. Convert the string to a number using Integer.valueOf() function. Once the string has been converted to a number, check if the number is a perfect square or not.
Below is the implementation of the above approach. 
 

C++
// C++ program to check if the
// concatenation of two numbers
// is a perfect square or not
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// Function to check if
// the concatenation is
// a perfect square
void checkSquare(string s1, string s2)
{

    // Function to convert 
    // concatenation of 
    // strings to a number
    int c = stoi(s1 + s2);

    // square root of number
    int d = sqrt(c);

    // check if it is a
    // perfect square
    if (d * d == c) 
    {
        cout << "Yes";
    }
    else 
    {
        cout << "No";
    }
}

// Driver Code
int main()
{
    string s1 = "12";
    string s2 = "1";

    checkSquare(s1, s2);
    
    return 0;
}
Java
// Java program to check if the
// concatenation of two numbers
// is a perfect square or not
import java.lang.*;
class GFG {

    // Function to check if the concatenation is
    // a perfect square
    static void checkSquare(String s1, String s2)
    {

        // Function to convert concatenation
        // of strings to a number
        int c = Integer.valueOf(s1 + s2);

        // square root of number
        int d = (int)Math.sqrt(c);

        // check if it is a perfect square
        if (d * d == c) {
            System.out.println("Yes");
        }
        else {
            System.out.println("No");
        }
    }

    // Driver Code
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        String s1 = "12";
        String s2 = "1";

        checkSquare(s1, s2);
    }
}
Python 3
# Python 3 program to check if the
# concatenation of two numbers
# is a perfect square or not
import math

# Function to check if the concatenation 
# is a perfect square
def checkSquare(s1, s2):

    # Function to convert concatenation of 
    # strings to a number
    c = int(s1 + s2)

    # square root of number
    d = math.sqrt(c)

    # check if it is a perfect square
    if (d * d == c) :
        print("Yes")
    
    else:
        print("No")

# Driver Code
if __name__ == "__main__":
    
    s1 = "12"
    s2 = "1"

    checkSquare(s1, s2)

        // check if it is a perfect square
        if (d * d == c) {

    let s2 = "1";
    checkSquare(s1, s2);
    
    
    // This code is contributed by avanitrachhadiya2155
</script>

Output: 
Yes

 

Time complexity: log(c) as using inbuilt sqrt function
Auxiliary space: O(1)
