Write a program that calculates sum of the integers numbers

What is the product if the question is write a program that calculates and prints the sum of the even integers from 2 to 30?

2+4+6+...+30=2(1+2+3+...+15)=2*(15*16)/2=15*16
So 2+4+...+n = floor(n/2)*(floor(n/2)+1).

The product would be the sum of the even integers from 2 to 30 ;-).
Seriously, what have you tried so far on this homework problem?

You might need some bubble wrap for that.
I hate when it takes more time to understand what people want than to make their answer!

v=2:30;
sum(v(~mod(v,2)))

Hi Paulo, this works fine but what is operator ~ doing here? Its hard to understand what exactly is happening after ~. I am new to coding.
mod(v, 2) will be either 0 or 1. The tilde inverts that, so 0 becomes 1, and 1 becomes 0.
Importantly, using ~ implicitly casts the numeric result from mod() to logical (along with doing the inversion). Otherwise, the indexing operation would fail if the indices were numeric 0 and 1, as you'd be trying to access the zeroth element of v.

or
sum(2:2:30)

that's simple but if you change the start value from 2 to 1 you do the sum of odd numbers instead, also if the last value is 31 or some odd number the result won't be correct, unfortunately that's not very flexible code.
btw that does work and is a good answer for the question (only if the values don't change), +1 vote

disp(240)
Or, for pedants who claim that evaluation is not the same as calculation,
disp(239+1)
