Project Euler Problem 6: Sum square difference
Problem 6
The sum of the squares of the first ten natural numbers is,
12 + 22 + ... + 102 = 385
The square of the sum of the first ten natural numbers is,
(1 + 2 + ... + 10)2 = 552 = 3025
Hence the difference between the sum of the squares of the first ten natural numbers and the square of the sum is 3025 − 385 = 2640.
Find the difference between the sum of the squares of the first one hundred natural numbers and the square of the sum.
C++:
#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int n, sum_sq, sum; while(cin >> n) { sum_sq = 0; sum = 0; for(int i=1; i<=n; i++) { sum_sq += i * i; sum += i; } cout << sum * sum - sum_sq << endl; } return 0; }
C++:
#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int n, sum_sq, sum; while(cin >> n) { sum_sq = (2 * n + 1) * (n + 1) * n / 6; sum = n * (n + 1) / 2; cout << sum * sum - sum_sq << endl; } return 0; }
