Given an int variable n that has been initialized to a positive value and, in addition, int variables k and total that have already been declared, use a while loop to compute the sum of the cubes of the first n whole numbers, and store this value in total. Use no variables other than n, k, and total and do not modify the value of n.

Language: Java

Challenge:

Given an int variable n that has been initialized to a positive value and, in addition, int variables k and total that have already been declared, use a while loop to compute the sum of the cubes of the first n whole numbers, and store this value in total. Use no variables other than n, k, and total and do not modify the value of n.

Solution:

k = 0 ; total = 0;
while (k <= n){
    total = total + (k*k*k);
    k++;
}
