How to Get Sum of Series 1+3+5+7+…. +n in C Program

It is easy to get sum of series 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + . . . + n in C program. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to do it in easy way in C program. Here is a simple code for it:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
int n,i;
int s=0;


printf("Enter the value of n of the series: ");
scanf("%d",&n);


printf("Sum of the series: ");


for (i =1; i <= n; i=i+2)
{
s=s+i;
if((i+2)>=n)
printf("%d = %d ",i,s);
else
printf("%d + ",i);
}


return 0;
}

Output:

Enter the value of n of the series: 10
Sum of the series: 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 = 25


In above code, I have sum up the series with a equation first. Then, I have tried to show number, plus sign, result and in a word equation  by iterating from 1 to n using for loop.
