Cannot get factorial loop to work! Do not know command...

1 次查看(过去 30 天)
The question is evaluate the following series: 1^2 + 2^2 +3^2 ... + 100^2. The answer is suppose to be 338350 but the only code i can get working is
a=[1:100] b=2; y=a.^b for y=1:length(a) end
which gives me each columns value, but does not add it up to value 338350! I have tried everything for a whole week please help :(

Use
a = [1:100];
b = 2;
y = 0;
for ii = 1:length(a)
y = y + a(ii)^b;
end
display(y);
Your sum, y, needs to be inside the loop to be updated. Alternatively, you can make use of MATLAB's matrix operations
y = sum([1:100].^2);

Noe that the internal brackets [] are slightly bad, in the sense that they may make your code slightly less efficient. Use () there instead, so
y = sum((1:100).^2);
is better. Not a major issue, but one to remember. If you don't really need brackets, which will result in an extra function call overhead that was never needed, don't use them. Use parens instead. I'm pretty sure that mlint flags this issue.

Yet another way is:
n = 100;
y = n*(n+1)*(2*n+1)/6;
