Python White loop Help!!

Question

Hos do I get a sum by using White loop for N numbers

Answer 1

How did you try to do that

Answer 2

this is what i did :

mystery_int = -7
total =0
i=1
while i <= mystery_int:
total=total+1
i=i+1
print(total)

this seems to only work for positive numbers but what if mystery int is -4 then it should add -4+-3+-2+-1+0

Answer 3

Your i is already cannot be less or equal to negative number, so your loop won't do.
I think you're approached it from the wrong side and I struggle to understand how tou intended to achieve anything that way.
