#B4136. Sum of Squares Sequence
Sum of Squares Sequence
Sum of Squares Sequence
Little Ming has written out a sequence where the i-th term is given by \(a_i = i^2\). The sequence starting from the first term \((i=1)\) is: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, …. Given an integer n
, your task is to compute the sum of the first n
terms of this sequence.
You may recall that the sum of the squares of the first n
natural numbers is given by the formula:
\( S = \frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6} \)
However, you can also compute the sum iteratively.
inputFormat
The input consists of a single integer n
(1 \leq n \leq 10^5
), which represents the number of terms from the sequence to sum.
outputFormat
Output a single integer, the sum of the first n
terms of the sequence.
