Shape Area
Description
Below we will define an n-interesting polygon. Your task is to find the area of a polygon for a given n.
A 1-interesting polygon is just a square with a side of length 1. An n-interesting polygon is obtained by taking the n - 1-interesting polygon and appending 1-interesting polygons to its rim, side by side. You can see the 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-interesting polygons in the picture below.

Example
- For
n = 2, the output should beshapeArea(n) = 5; - For
n = 3, the output should beshapeArea(n) = 13.
Input/Output
-
[execution time limit] 4 seconds (js)
-
[input] integer n
Guaranteed constraints:
1 \leq \text{n} \le 10^4.
- [output] integer
The area of the n-interesting polygon.
