Explanation & answer:
We do not know which language you are using, so a pseudocode will be given, it will be similar to java or C/C++. For other languages, you can adapt to the syntax of the target language.
int n=5;
//
total = 0 // initialize variable to store total value, already declaired.
// k will be used as a dummy variable, already declared
for (k=1; k<=n; k++){
total+=k*k*k; // k*k*k works for almost all languages. adapt as needed
}
print(n, total)
The code is in Java.
It uses for loop to calculate the sum of the cubes of the first n numbers.
Recall that loops are used when there is a repetition. In the algorithm, we repeat the process of taking the cube of a number and adding it to the sum.
Comments are used to explain each line of code
//Main.java
public class Main
{
public static void main(String[] args) {
//declare the variables
int n = 4, k, total = 0;
//for loop that iterates n times
//add the cubes of the numbers to the total (cumulative sum)
for (k=1; k<=n; k++){
total += (k * k * k);
}
//print the total
System.out.println(total);
}
}
