How can a for loop compute a generalized summation in PHP?
How can a for loop compute a generalized summation in PHP? (Computer science one · Summation) — "Let’s revisit the example from Section 4.2.1 in which we compu…
Ideas in this flowchart
- Generalizing the integer-sum code
- The original example computes 1 + 2 + · · · + 10.
- The original code appears in Code Sample 39.6.
- The code can be generalized to sum up to another value.
- The upper limit is represented by the variable n.
- The generalized solution uses a for loop.
- The loop initializes i to 1.
- The loop continues while i is less than or equal to n.
- The loop increments i after each iteration.
- Each iteration adds i to sum.
