Python Challenges: Compute the sum of the numbers on the diagonals in a 1001 by 1001 spiral formed

Python Challenges - 1: Exercise-59 with Solution

Starting with the number 1 and moving to the right in a clockwise direction a 5 by 5 spiral is formed as follows:

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

MAX_SIZE = 1001  
result = 1 
result += sum(4 * i * i - 6 * (i - 1) for i in range(3, MAX_SIZE + 1, 2))
print(str(result)) 

Sample Output:

669171001
