Magic Square Generator

Overview

The Magic Square Generator is a Node.js package designed to create magic squares of odd and doubly even orders, as well as verify the magic square property of given square matrices. A magic square is a grid of numbers where the sums of the numbers in each row, column, and the main diagonals all add up to the same constant. This package offers a simple interface to generate and validate these fascinating mathematical objects easily.

Installation

To add the Magic Square Generator to your project, use the following npm command:

npm install magic-squares-generator --save

This command will download and install the package, making it ready to use in your Node.js applications.

Usage

After installation, you can generate and print magic squares by importing the package and calling its functions. Here's a simple example to get you started:

const { generateMagicSquare, printMagicSquare, isMagicSquare } = require('magic-squares-generator');

// Generate a magic square of order 5
const n = 5;
const square = generateMagicSquare(n);

// Print the generated magic square
console.log("Generated Magic Square:");
printMagicSquare(square);

// Checks if a square is magic 
console.log('Is Magic Square:', isMagicSquare(square)); // This will print true or false

This code snippet generates a 5x5 magic square, prints it to the console, and then verifies if the generated square is indeed a magic square.

API Reference

generateMagicSquare(n) Generates a magic square of order n. The order n can be any odd number or a doubly even number (divisible by 4).

• Parameters: n (number) - The order of the magic square.
• Returns: A 2D array representing the generated magic square.

printMagicSquare(square) Prints a given magic square to the console in a formatted manner.

• Parameters: square (Array<Array>) - A 2D array representing a magic square.

isMagicSquare(square) Determines whether a given square matrix is a magic square.

• Parameters: square (Array<Array>) - A 2D array representing a square matrix.
• Returns: true if the square is a magic square, otherwise false.
