Watch the video about Gauss's Addition in the Resources tab to see how you can use the formula for your function.

Gauss

Create a function that adds all the numbers together from 1 to n or, if two numbers are given: n to m. The input can be in any order.

Examples

gauss(100) ➞ 5050 // From the video

gauss(5001, 7000) ➞ 12001000 // Also ^^

gauss(1975, 165) ➞ 1937770

Notes

  • Try not to use a for or while loop.
  • Try not to create a recursive function.
  • Use the formula explained in the video.
