C Program to find sum of 1 to n natural numbers!

Hello students and self-learners, here is another interesting program for you to learn the basics of C programming.

In this post, you are going to learn how to print natural number from 1 to n using C programming language.

 

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
	int n, sum = 0;

	//get a positive integer
	printf("Enter n:");
	scanf("%d", &n);
	
	//loop till n and calculate the values from 1 to n
	for(int i=1; i<=n; i++)
	{
		sum = sum + i;
	}
	
	//print the final output
	printf("Sum of natural numbers (1 to %d) is: %d", n, sum);
	
	return 0;
}

It’s a very simple program. First, we are getting the value of n from the user. Then using for loop we are calculating the values from 1 to n. 

The output of the above program will be:

Enter n:5
Sum of natural numbers (1 to 5) is: 15
