C++ Exercises: Add all the numbers from 1 to a given number

Write a C++ program to add all the numbers from 1 to a given number.

Sample Solution:

C++ Code :

#include <iostream> // Including input-output stream header file

using namespace std; // Using the standard namespace

// Function to calculate the sum of numbers from 1 to n
int Add_1_to_given_number(int n) {
    int total = 0; // Variable to store the total sum

    // Loop to add numbers from 1 to n
    for (int x = 1; x <= n; x++) {
        total += x; // Adding each number to the total sum
    }
    return total; // Returning the final total sum
}

int main() {
    // Printing the sum of numbers from 1 to 4 by calling the Add_1_to_given_number function with argument 4
    cout << "\nAdd 1 to 4: " << Add_1_to_given_number(4);

    // Printing the sum of numbers from 1 to 100 by calling the Add_1_to_given_number function with argument 100
    cout << "\nAdd 1 to 100: " << Add_1_to_given_number(100);

    return 0; // Indicating successful completion of the program
}

Sample Output:

Add 1 to 4: 10
Add 1 to 100: 5050
