C++ Program to Find and Print the Sum of First n Natural Numbers
This article is created to provide some programs in C++ that find and print the sum of the first n natural numbers. The value n must be entered by the user at run-time. The program is created in the following ways:
- Find and print the sum of first n natural numbers using the while loop
- Find and print the sum of first n natural numbers using a for loop
- Find and print the sum of first n natural numbers using a user-defined function
Note: A natural number starts with 1 and continues like 1, 2, 3,...
Find the sum of first n natural numbers using the while loop
The question is: write a program in C++ that receives the value of n and prints the sum of the first n natural numbers. Here is its answer:
#include<iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int n, natural=1, sum=0; cout<<"Enter the Value of n: "; cin>>n; while(natural<=n) { sum = sum+natural; natural++; } cout<<"\nSum of First "<<n<<" Natural Numbers = "<<sum; cout<<endl; return 0; }
Here is the initial output produced by the above C++ program on finding and printing the sum of n natural numbers:
Now supply the number, say 10, as the value of n and press the ENTER key to find the sum of the first 10 natural numbers, as shown in the snapshot given below:
Find the sum of first n natural numbers using the for loop
This program is created using the for loop instead of while.
#include<iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int n, natural, sum=0; cout<<"Enter the Value of n: "; cin>>n; for(natural=1; natural<=n; natural++) sum = sum+natural; cout<<"\nSum of First "<<n<<" Natural Numbers = "<<sum; cout<<endl; return 0; }
Here is its sample run with user input: 12.
Find the sum of first n natural numbers using function
This is the last program created using a user-defined function named myfun() that takes an integer, say n, as its argument and then finds and returns the sum of the first n natural numbers.
#include<iostream> using namespace std; int myfun(int); int main() { int n, sum; cout<<"Enter the Value of n: "; cin>>n; sum = myfun(n); cout<<"\nSum of First "<<n<<" Natural Numbers = "<<sum; cout<<endl; return 0; } int myfun(int n) { int natural, sum=0; for(natural=1; natural<=n; natural++) sum += natural; return sum; }
