Sum of Two Squares
Programming Basics · C++
TASK
Problem
Given two integers `a` and `b`, print `a² + b²`.
EXAMPLE
Example
3 5
34
LIMITS
Constraints
|a|, |b| ≤ 10^9. The answer fits in signed 64-bit integer.

Theory for this problem
+
Use `long long` for integer arithmetic when products may exceed 32-bit `int`.
Connection to “Sum of Two Squares”: here, intermediate values are best kept in named variables so the formula stays readable and data types remain clear.

Hints
+
['Read both values, compute the requested expression, then print only the result.', 'After solving “Sum of Two Squares”, verify the algorithm on your own small example and on an allowed boundary case. Print only the required result with no extra text.']
ANSWER
Solution
+
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
long long a, b;
cin >> a >> b;
long long result = a * a + b * b;
cout << result << '\n';
return 0;
}
