Sum of Arithmetic Progression

This program calculates sum of arithmetic progression series.

Problem Statement

Write a Java program that calculates sum of arithmetic progression with first term 2, difference 3, and 5 terms.

Source Code

1 public class SumAP {
2 public static void main(String[] args) {
3 int a = 2, d = 3, n = 5, sum = 0;
4 for(int i=0; i<n; i++) {
5 sum += (a + i*d);
6 }
7 System.out.println("Sum of AP = " + sum + " - Eduinq");
8 }
9 }

Program Output

Sum of AP = 40 - Eduinq

Explanation

The program calculates each term using formula a + i*d and adds to sum. The loop runs for n terms. This demonstrates how for loops can calculate sum of arithmetic progression. Shows how for loop can calculate sum of AP series.
