Question

Given a variable n refers to a positive int value, use two additional variables, k and total to write a for loop to compute the sum of the cubes of the first n counting numbers, and store this value in total. Thus your code should put 1*1*1 + 2*2*2 + 3*3*3 +... + n*n*n into total. Use no variables other than n, k, and total.

Answer 1

n = int(input()) # read the variable n
total = 0 # create the variable total

# give the variable k values from 1 to n
# increase total by the value k ^ 3
for k in range(1, n + 1): total += k ** 3
print(total) # write the variable total to console
