Question

Use the variables k and total to write a while loop that computes the sum of the squares of the first 50 counting numbers, and associates that value with total. Thus your code should associate 1*1 2*2 3*3 ... 49*49 50*50 with total. Use no variables other than k and total.

Answer 1

total=0

def calcsumnumsquare(k,total):

while k>=1:

total+=int(k)*int(k)

k-=1

return total

print(calcsumnumsquare(4,0))

Step-by-step explanation:

The program required is written above. It uses only two variables k and total as mentioned in the question. And the total is initially set to 9, and then its value is incremented by the square of each k during each loop established by while loop. And finally, when k=1, the output is returned. And we have printed the return value using print.
