Project Euler Problem 6
The sum of the squares of the first ten natural numbers is, 12 + 22 + ... + 102 = 385
The square of the sum of the first ten natural numbers is, (1 + 2 + ... + 10)2 = 552 = 3025
Hence the difference between the sum of the squares of the first ten natural numbers and the square of the sum is 3025 385 = 2640.
Find the difference between the sum of the squares of the first one hundred natural numbers and the square of the sum.
$i = 1; $n = 0; while ($i < 101) { $n += $i; $sum += pow($i, 2); $i++; } $number = pow($n, 2); echo $number - $sum;
This was extremely easy. What did you get?
