A Beale number is a positive integer that can be expressed as the sum of a positive integer, a square, and a cube. More formally, a number \\( n \\) is a Beale number if there exist positive integers \\( x \\), \\( y \\), and \\( z \\) such that: \\\[ n = x + y^2 + z^3 \\\] Beale numbers are named after the American mathematician and cryptographer John Beale.
