The series -1+2-3+4-5+6...-99+100 is an example of an arithmetic series.

To find the sum of an arithmetic series, we can use the formula:

S = (n/2)(a + l)

where S is the sum of the series, n is the number of terms, a is the first term, and l is the last term.

In this case, the first term is -1, the last term is 100, and there are 100 terms in the series.

Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

S = (100/2)(-1 + 100)
S = 50(-1 + 100)
S = 50(99)
S = 4950

Therefore, the sum of the series -1+2-3+4-5+6...-99+100 is 4950.
