Answer to Question #224585 in Python for Hari nadh babu

Question

X = int(input())
N = int(input())
M = 1 + 2*(N-1)
list1 = []
i = 1
j = 0
k = 0
while i <= M:
 list1.append(X**i)
 i = i + 2


for s in list1:
 if (list1.index(s))%2 == 0:
  j = j + s
 else:
  k = k - s
print(j+k)

Answer 1

X = int(input())
N = int(input())
sumResult=0
ex=1
for x in range(0,N):
    if x%2==0:
        sumResult+=pow(X,ex)
    else:
        sumResult-=pow(X,ex)
    ex+=2


print(sumResult)
