Question 9.
A tech number has even number of digits. If the number is split in two equal halves, then the square of sum of these halves is equal to the number itself. Write a program to generate and print all four digit tech numbers. [15]

n = i +””;
a = lnteger,parselnt(n.substring(0, 2));
b = Integer.parselnt(n.substring(2));
sum = (int)Math.pow((a + b), 2);
