Can someone explain the "sum of consecutive numbers" to me? (Python for beginners)

Question

How do I get the code to sum up the list from 0:N+1?

Answer 1

Thank you so much for your quick reply! Unfortunately it doesn't work:

N = int(input())
sum = range(N+1)
s = 0
for i in range(N+1):
s += i
print(s)

Also, I don't really understand it, could you explain it?

Answer 2

And why doesn't

N = int(input())
x = sum(range(N+1))
print(x)

do the trick?:)

Answer 3

If the sum is from 0 to N+1 included you need to use range(N+2) because the range function does not include the last number

Also, here it's a trick:
(N+1)(N+2)/2

Answer 4

The task is the following:

"No one likes homework, but your math teacher has given you an assignment to find the sum of the first N numbers.

Let’s save some time by creating a program to do the calculation for you!

Take a number N as input and output the sum of all numbers from 1 to N (including N).

Sample Input
100

Sample Output
5050

Explanation: The sum of all numbers from 1 to 100 is equal to 5050."

I wrote N+1 so I can include N. But so far I haven't found the solution to this task. The first line of code is already given
N = int(input())

Answer 5

Anyone?

Answer 6

sum(range(n+1))

Answer 7

s = 0
for i in range(n+1):
s += i
print(s)
