Thread: would anybody be kind enough to help?

I am stuck on a homework problem. What I am suppose to do is write a program that calculates the square of all the intergers from 1 till the number a user enters. So my program should calculate something like 1^2 + 2^2 + ...... n^2. I know I am suppose to use the for loop or the while loop, but I am lost. This is what I came up with so far:

using while loop

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	int x;
	cout << "Please enter a number: ";
	cin >> x;
	int i = 1;
	while (i < x)
	{
		x++;
		int sum=i+x;
		cout << "Result: " << pow(sum,2) << endl;
	}
	return 0;
}

using for loop

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
	int x;
	cout << "Please enter a number: ";
	cin >> x;
	for (int i = 1; i< x+1; x++)
		cout << "The sum of the square of all intergers from 
		1 to the number you have entered is: " 
		<< pow(x=i+x,2) << endl;
	return 0;
}

Any help and guidance would be greatly appreciated.
