Sum of Consecutive Numbers

Question

I am having a hard time with this. The program tells me my expected output is 64261. But if N is the input, how does the output equate to 64261?

I feel like the code doesn’t need a loop to solve, as it should just run through range(0,(100+1)) once and give an output. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? I know I’m missing the addition function, how do I write adding over a range?

N=int(input)
Sum(0,(100+1))

Print(Sum)

sum(range(1,10)) returns sum of numbers from 1to 9. you can store result in a variable for later use. If only need to display then just display by print( sum( range(1, 10) )

Answer 2

This *can* be done using the sum function and range. But since it's about learning to use loops you should use one.
Doing it with sum() and range() would look like this:
sum(range(N+1))

Jayakrishna🇮🇳 this has helped so much!! Thank you :)

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

Jayakrishna🇮🇳 , do i define sum? Is this where i should store the result?

Answer 6

You're welcome..

That's perfect for the specific task done by loop..

Answer 7

it asking sum of number from 0 to N
Not 0 to 100..
next sum(0, 100) is invalid. Pass an iterator to sum function.. Use the range function and then store the result or display directly..

N=int(input) # use this N value
Sum(0,(100+1)) # this invalid and no effect, store result
Print(Sum) # sum is undefined.

edit:
as this is loop usage practice, try to use loop.
