Kotlin Program: Calculate the sum of numbers between a given range

Kotlin Control Flow: Exercise-7 with Solution

Write a Kotlin program to calculate the sum of all numbers between two given numbers.

Sample Solution:

Kotlin Code:

fun main() {
    val start = 15
    val end = 25

    val sum = calculateSum(start, end)
    println("Sum of numbers between $start and $end: $sum")
}

fun calculateSum(start: Int, end: Int): Int {
    var sum = 0

    for (num in start..end) {
        sum += num
    }

    return sum
}

Sample Output:

Sum of numbers between 15 and 25: 220

Explanation:

In the above exercise,

• In the main() function the variables start and end represent the starting and ending numbers of the range for which we want to calculate the sum.
• The calculateSum() function takes the start and end values as arguments and returns the sum of all numbers between them.
• Inside the calculateSum() function, we initialize a variable sum to hold the cumulative sum and set it to 0.
• We use a for loop to iterate over the numbers from start to end (inclusive) using the range operator ...
• For each number in the range, we add it to the sum variable.
• After the loop completes, we return the calculated sum.
