How do you compute a summation with a for loop in C?
ComputerScienceOne / Summation
"Let’s revisit the example from Section 4.2.1 in which we computed the sum of integers 1 + 2 + · · · + 10. The code is presented in Code Sample 17.6.\n\n1 int i;\n\n2 int sum = 0;\n\n3 for(i=1; i<=10; i++) {\n\n4 sum += i;\n\n5 }\n\nCode Sample 17.6.: Summation of Numbers using a For Loop in C\n\nOf course we could easily have generalized the code somewhat. Instead of computing a sum up to a particular number, we could have written it to sum up to another variable n, in which case the for loop would instead look like the following."
