Answer 2

Could you provide a link to the code that you're using to test out this problem? It would just make it a little easier to troubleshoot that way d:

Answer 3

oh yea forgot that. The problem is that I'm trying to take 1 minus of y when x reaches the same number like y and reset x to 0. but I guess there is somewhere an infinite loop right?

Answer 6

there's a math formula for this. the sum of numbers from 1 to n is equal to:

(n*(n+1))/2

no need to use loops
