K and Total variable Question

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

in python, for example ...

k = 1

total = 0

while k <= 50:

total += k*k

k = k + 1

# check ...

print(f'{total = }')
