Given Integer variables k and total that have already been declared, use a While loop to compute the sum of the squares of the first 50 whole 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 Integer variables k and total that have already been declared,use a While loop to compute the sum of the squares of the first 50 whole 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
Do While (k <= 50)
    total = (total + (k*k))
    k += 1
Loop
