Pls who can help me with the"Sum of consecutive numbers"challenge on python for beginners ?

Answer 1

PELSKI ,

here some hints how to get it solved:

line 1: ok
line 2: not required (i=N)

> we need to run a for loop, to take the numbers generated by the range() function. keep in mind, that the upper bound of range() will not be included, so we have to add + 1 to the input value.

> we have to sum up these numbers, so we need a variable that will take and build this accumulated sum. we can name it `total`.

> build this sum in the loop body.

> when the loop is finished, the `total` variable contains the requested result.

> output it.

test case: 5 -> 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 -> 15.

>>> in general we should use meaningful variable names. also put spaces around operators.

Answer 3

This is what I have tried:
N = int(input())
#your code goes here
i=N
for u in range(N):
print(i=i+N)
