Hey guys, here's a question I have. I've not taken C or C++, but I have had Fortran. Any help in corrections would be appreciated:

Question: Develop the code to compute the sum of integers from 1 to 10,000?

Here is what I have:

int sum = 0, i;

for( i = 1; i <= 10000; i++ ) { sum = sum + i; }

printf( "The sum of integers 1-10000 is: %d", sum );

With actually saving it to a file and compiling, the code you posted looks correct.
There is a better way, though.



Does that help at all? If you have trouble translating the arithmetic to C, post your problem and we'll try to help.

Thanks so much, Jess. Yeah it makes sense, I actually used that fact in writing my program in Fortran!

That big thing that looks like an E, or a sideways W, or a sideays M, maybe even a C, that's the Greek letter Sigma, its used in math to denote summation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summation
