Decodes message from file based on number in each line of text.
Attached file ... coding_qual_input.txt
has lines of text, each line has number, then space, then text
The goal is to read these lines and create full statements based on numbers in each line
The numbers are as below, triangular number, meaning
1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, ....
Found formula online
n = any integer
xn = number found in text
xn = n (n + 1) / 2
n = (sqr(8 * xn + 1) - 1) / 2

This one was part of longer task I was told to fix today.
