Problem 28
Somebody named... Euler wrote:
"First I noted that for an n by n grid, and n being odd, the number in the top right corner is n2.
A little mathematical analysis told me that the other corners are given by: n2-n+1, n2-2n+2, and n2-3n+3.
Adding these together gives the quadratic, 4n2-6n+6.
Then all I had to do was create a loop from 3 to 1001 in steps of 2 and find the running total
(starting from 1) of the quadratic."
JavaScript (Spider Monkey)
var s = 1; for(var n = 3; n <= 1001; n += 2) { s += 4 * Math.pow(n,2) - 6 * n + 6; } print(s); // time: 0.02s memory: 4984 kB
