Change this while loop to for loop

Question

//Outputs triangular numbers

class forExample2 {
public static void main(String[] args) {

int triangularNumber = 1;
int y = 1;

while(y <= 10){

System.out.println(triangularNumber);

y++;

triangularNumber = triangularNumber + y;
}

}
}

Answer 1

ChaoticDawg why triangularNumber + y + 1?

Answer 2

for (int y = 1; y <= 10; y++) {
System.out.println(triangularNumber);
triangularNumber = triangularNumber + y + 1;
}

Answer 3

Ian Karuchiu
From your code, you were incrementing y prior to incrementing triangularNumber. So, I added 1 to keep the math the same, since y is incrementing after triangularNumber is incremented in the for loop.

Answer 4

//It's so easy! 8D
class forExample2 {
public static void main(String[] args) {

for(int y = 1, tn = 1; y <= 10; tn += ++y)
System.out.println(tn);

}

}
