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
k = 1
while k <= 50:
    total += k**2
    k += 1
print(total)
