Summation of integers with a for loop in C
The example computes 1 + 2 + · · · + 10
Code Sample 17.6 implements the summation
The variable i is declared as an integer
The variable sum is initialized to 0
The for loop starts at 1, continues while i ≤ 10, and increments i
Each iteration adds i to sum
The code can be generalized to sum up to a variable n
The generalized for loop uses n as its upper bound

"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."
