Welcome to JavaRanch!

Sure, we'll help you out, but we won't do it for you. What have you done so far? Where are you stuck?

[fred rosenberger]

to start, think about how YOU would add the first 100 numbers and store results. don't think in Java, think in English, Spanish, Korean, or whatever language you are most comfortable with.

be specific. don't just say "i'd add them up and write down the result."

HOW would you add them up. how would you make sure you got all of them? where would you store the result (or any intermediary result you may have along the way)?

once you answer these, writing the Java becomes much easier.

Good advice from Fred. I'd also suggest that you break the problem down into smaller problems.

For example, how would you simply print out the first 100 numbers? Don't worry about adding them up or anything at this point.

Once you get that figured out and working correctly, then work on summing them up.

Good luck!

class addition{
public static void main(String arg[])
{
int c=0;
for(int i=1;i<101;i++)
c+=i;

system.out.println("PRINTING SUM OF 1st 100 no."+c);
}
}

Thanks a lot for your replies and I appreciate your efforts for giving me tips to learn Java further

Guru,

As it says at the top of the forum page...

We're all here to learn, so when responding to others, please focus on helping them discover their own solutions, instead of simply providing answers.

Thanks!
