Question

Use the variables k and total to write a while loop that computes the sum of the squares of the first 50 counting numbers, and associates that value with total . Thus your code should associate 1*1 + 2*2 + 3*3 +... + 49*49 + 50*50 with total . Use no variables other than k and total .

Answer 1

k = 1
sum = 0
while(k <= 50):
sum += k * k
k+= 1
print sum
