Given int variables k and total that have already been declared, use a while loop to compute the sum of the squares of the first 50 counting numbers, and store this value in total. Thus your code should put 1*1 + 2*2 + 3*3 +… + 49*49 + 50*50 into total. Use no variables other than k and total.

Given int variables k and total that have already been declared, use a while loop to compute the sum of the squares of the first 50 counting numbers, and store this value in total. Thus your code should put 1*1 + 2*2 + 3*3 +… + 49*49 + 50*50 into total. Use no variables other than k and total.

SOLUTION:


k = 1;
total = 0;
while ( k <= 50 ){
   total = total + ( k * k );
   k = k + 1;
}
