Java: Array with loop

I need to create an array with 100 numbers (1-100) and then calculate how much it all will be (1+2+3+4+..+100 = sum).

I don't want to enter these numbers into the arrays manually, 100 spots would take a while and cost more code.

I'm thinking something like using variable++ till 100 and then calculate the sum of it all. Not sure how exactly it would be written. But it's in important that it's in arrays so I can also say later, "How much is array 55" and I can could easily see it.


Here's how:

// Create an array with room for 100 integers
int[] nums = new int[100];

// Fill it with numbers using a for-loop
for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++)
    nums[i] = i + 1;  // +1 since we want 1-100 and not 0-99

// Compute sum
int sum = 0;
for (int n : nums)
    sum += n;

// Print the result (5050)
System.out.println(sum);

If all you want to do is calculate the sum of 1,2,3... n then you could use :

 int sum = (n * (n + 1)) / 2;

int count = 100;
int total = 0;
int[] numbers = new int[count];
for (int i=0; count>i; i++) {
    numbers[i] = i+1;
    total += i+1;
}
// done

I'm not sure what structure you want your resulting array in, but the following code will do what I think you're asking for:

int sum = 0;
int[] results = new int[100];
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
  sum += (i+1);
  results[i] = sum;
}

Gives you an array of the sum at each point in the loop [1, 3, 6, 10...]
