Last Updated :
17 Jul, 2022
Given a number n. The problem is to find the sum of first n even numbers.
Examples:
Input : n = 4
Output : 20
Sum of first 4 even numbers
= (2 + 4 + 6 + 8) = 20
Input : n = 20
Output : 420
Naive Approach: Iterate through the first n even numbers and add them.
C++
// C++ implementation to find sum of
// first n even numbers
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
// function to find sum of
// first n even numbers

{

// sum of first n even numbers
for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
sum += curr;
// next even number
curr += 2;
}
// required sum
return sum;
}
// Driver program to test above
int main()
{
int n = 20;
cout << "Sum of first " << n
<< " Even numbers is: " << evenSum(n);
return 0;

}

return sum;
}
// driver function
public static void main(String argc[])
{
int n = 20;
System.out.println("Sum of first " + n +
" Even numbers is: " +
evenSum(n));
}

OutputSum of first 20 Even numbers is: 420
Time Complexity: O(n)
Auxiliary Space: O(1)
Efficient Approach: By applying the formula given below.
Sum of first n even numbers = n * (n + 1).
Proof:
Sum of first n terms of an A.P.(Arithmetic Progression)
= (n/2) * [2*a + (n-1)*d].....(i)
where, a is the first term of the series and d is
the difference between the adjacent terms of the series.
Here, a = 2, d = 2, applying these values to eq.(i), we get
Sum = (n/2) * [2*2 + (n-1)*2]
= (n/2) * [4 + 2*n - 2]
= (n/2) * (2*n + 2)
= n * (n + 1)

OutputSum of first 20 Even numbers is: 420
Time Complexity: O(1).
Space Complexity: O(1) since using constant variables
Another method:
In this method, we have to calculate the Nth term,
The formula for finding Nth term ,Tn = a+(n-1)d, here, a= first term, d= common difference, n= number of term
And then we have to apply the formula for finding the sum,
the formula is, Sn=(N/2) * (a + Tn), here a= first term, Tn= last term, n= number of term
This formula also can be applied for the sum of odd numbers, but the series must have a same common difference.

int tn = 2+(n-1)*2;
//find Nth Term
//calculate a+(n-1)d
//first term is = 2

//first term and common difference is same all time

return (n/2) * (2 + tn);
