#K49927. Difference Matrix Sum
Difference Matrix Sum
Difference Matrix Sum
You are given a positive integer N. Your task is to compute the sum of all elements in an N x N matrix where the element at the intersection of the i-th row and j-th column is defined as \(|i - j|\) (with 0-based indices). This problem tests your ability to implement algorithms and correctly handle basic arithmetic operations.
Problem Details:
- The matrix is defined as: \(A[i][j] = |i - j|\) for all \(0 \leq i, j < N\).
- You need to compute the total sum of all the elements in this matrix.
Example:
Input: 3 Output: 8</p>Explanation: For N = 3, the matrix is: [ [0, 1, 2], [1, 0, 1], [2, 1, 0] ] The sum is 0+1+2+1+0+1+2+1+0 = 8.
inputFormat
The input consists of a single integer N (1 \leq N \leq 10^4
or based on constraints) provided via standard input.
outputFormat
Output a single integer, which is the sum of all elements in the difference matrix, printed to standard output.
