/// C++ Program to calculate number of divisors.

#include<iostream>
#include<vector>

/**
 * This algorithm use the prime factorization approach.
 * Any number can be written in multiplication of its prime factors.
 * Let N = P1^E1 * P2^E2 ... Pk^Ek
 * Therefore. number-of-divisors(N) = (E1+1) * (E2+1) ... (Ek+1).
 * Where P1, P2 ... Pk are prime factors and E1, E2 ... Ek are exponents respectively.
 *
 * Example:-
 * N = 36
 * 36 = (3^2 * 2^2)
 * number_of_positive_divisors(36) = (2+1) * (2+1) = 9.
 * list of positive divisors of 36 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36.
 *
 * Similarly if N is -36 at that time number of positive divisors remain same.
 *
 * Example:-
 * N = -36
 * -36 = -1 * (3^2 * 2^2)
 * number_of_positive_divisors(-36) = (2+1) * (2+1) = 9.
 * list of positive divisors of -36 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36.
