2. Adding Up Integers



Answer:
Probably not. Even with a calculator this would be tedious.

sumflowsketchThere is a formula for the sum of integers from 1 to N and
    similar formulas for the sum of even or of odd integers from 1 to N, but pretend you don't know that. Let us write a program that calculates these three sums by directly adding up the integers:


    
    
  • The sum of all integers 1 to N
    • 
    
  • The sum of odd integers 1 to N
    • 
    
  • The sum of even integers 1 to N
    • 



The user enters N, and the program counts up from one to N adding each integer to the appropriate sums. The flowchart shows how the program works.


The flowchart shows a loop that increments count from 1 to N. In the loop body, the current value of count is always added to the sum of all integers.


But more work needs to be done. count should be added to the sum of odds only if it is odd and added to the sum of evens only if it is even.


This box: decide which sums should get the number needs more detail.






Question 2:
How can you decide if count should be added to the sum of even or to the sum of odd integers?
