#P5534. Arithmetic Progression Sum
Arithmetic Progression Sum
Arithmetic Progression Sum
Given the first two terms of an arithmetic progression and the number of terms, compute the sum of the progression.
An arithmetic progression is defined as: for any sequence \(a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n\) if for every \(i \in [1, n)\) we have \(a_{i+1} - a_i = d\) (where \(d\) is a constant), then it is called an arithmetic progression. The sum of the first \(n\) terms is given by the formula: \(S = \frac{n}{2}(2a_1 + (n-1)d)\).
inputFormat
Input contains three space-separated integers representing the first term (a_1), the second term (a_2), and the number of terms (n) respectively.
outputFormat
Output the sum of the arithmetic progression.
