Thread: Help me do my task

The task is: Make a program, that whenever you type some kind of number, it displays its squares total sum. For example if I type in the program let's say 4, it will be (1*1+2*2+3*3+4*4) and it will show me the answer of 30, or if I type 6 (1*1+2*2+3*3+4*4+5*5+6*6) it will be 91. I'm guessing this has something to do with while () function?

Thanks for taking your time

so ill give you a clue first you need an input

Code:

scanf("%d", &num);

then use that input to determine how many times you want that loop to work.

Code:

for(i=1;i<=num;i++) { 
//your algo here
}
