算法 - 求和为n的连续正整数序列（C++）

//****************************************************************************************************
//
//  求和为n的连续正整数序列 - C++ - by Chimomo
//
//  题目： 输入一个正整数n，输出全部和为n的连续正整数序列。比如：输入15，因为1+2+3+4+5=4+5+6=7+8=15，所以输出3个连续序列1-5、4-6和7-8。

//
//  Answer: Suppose n = i+(i+1)+...+(j-1)+j, then n = (i+j)(j-i+1)/2 = (j*j-i*i+i+j)/2 => j^2+j+(i-i^2-2n) = 0 => j = (sqrt(1-4(i-i^2-2n))-1)/2 => j = (sqrt(4i^2+8n-4i+1)-1)/2.
//          We know 1 <= i < j <= n/2+1, so for each i in [1,n/2], do this arithmetic to check if there is a integer answer.
//
//  Note: 二次函数 ax^2+bx+c=0 的求根公式为： x = (-b±sqrt(b^2-4ac)) / 2a。
