Usage

Modify Line 2 changing n to any value you wish to test.

With the default parameter of n = 5 we get the following output:

Code

# Change n to modify the number of iterations
n = 5;

x = 0;
for i in range( 1, n + 1 ):
	x = x + ( i * i );

print 'Summation of (i^2) from i = 0 to n = ' + str( n ) + ' is ' + str( x )
