Not able to execute the procedure

Question

Hi everybody,
I am trying to execute a procedure as below,
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure test1(n1 IN number, n2 IN number, tot OUT number)
is
i number := null;
begin
loop
if n2>n1 then
i:=i+1;
tot:=n1+i;
dbms_output.put_line(tot);
elsif n2<n1 then
dbms_output.put_line('Enter a higher value for n2');
end if;
end loop;
end;
All im trying to do is to print the numbers according to the values we give during the runtime, but doesn't seem to work for me.
ie.,
n1=1;
n2=5;
tot = 1,2,3,4,5;
I am sorry if there are some error's in the procedure and would really appreciate if you can help me with this. Thanks in advance for your help.

Answer 1

When i run the procedure now,
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure test1(n1 IN number, n2 IN number, tot OUT number)
is
i number := null;
begin
loop
if n2>n1 then
i:=i+1;
tot:=n1+i;
dbms_output.put_line(tot);
elsif n2<n1 then
dbms_output.put_line('Enter a higher value for n1');
end if;
exit;
end loop;
end;
set serveroutput on;
variable tot number;
execute test1(1,4,:tot);
print tot;
Im getting output as,
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
tot
Nothing is getting printed now. Any reasons for it. I would like to appreciate everybody's help, by the way. Hope we will find a solution.
