Java Program to Calculate the Sum of Natural Numbers
In this program, you’ll learn to calculate the sum of natural numbers using for loop and while loop in Java.
The positive numbers 1, 2, 3… are known as natural numbers and its sum is the result of all numbers starting from 1 to the given number.
For n, the sum of natural numbers is:
1 + 2 + 3 + ... + n
Example 1: Sum of Natural Numbers using for loop
public class SumNatural{
public static void main(String[] args){
int num = 100, sum = 0;
for(int i = 1; i <= num; ++i)
{
// sum = sum + i;
sum += i;
}
System.out.println("Sum = " + sum);
}
}
Output
Sum = 5050
The above program loops from 1 to the given num(100) and adds all numbers to the variable sum.
You can solve this problem using a while loop as follows:
Example 2: Sum of Natural Numbers using while loop
public class SumNatural{
public static void main(String[] args){
int num = 50, i = 1, sum = 0;
while(i <= num)
{
sum += i;
i++;
}
System.out.println("Sum = " + sum);
}
}
Output
Sum = 1275
In the above program, unlike a for loop, we have to increment the value of i inside the body of the loop.
Though both programs are technically correct, it is better to use for loop in this case. It’s because the number of iteration (up to num) is known.

Two Machine Learning Fields
There are two sides to machine learning:
- Practical Machine Learning:This is about querying databases, cleaning data, writing scripts to transform data and gluing algorithm and libraries together and writing custom code to squeeze reliable answers from data to satisfy difficult and ill defined questions. It’s the mess of reality.
- Theoretical Machine Learning: This is about math and abstraction and idealized scenarios and limits and beauty and informing what is possible. It is a whole lot neater and cleaner and removed from the mess of reality.
