Writing a program

Question

Hi,
Can someone please help me figure out how to create a program in java that adds up the squares and adds up the cubes of integers from 1 to N, where N is entered by the user?
I know the basics, I just don't know what to put in the loop body:
int startingvalue = 1;
int n = reader.readInt ("Enter the upper limit value:");
int sumofsquares;
int sumofcubes;
while (startingvalue <= n){
}

Answer 1

Math.pow (startingvalue, 2);
sumofsquares = startingvalue ++;
System.out.println (" The sum of squares is:");
reader.readInt (sumofsquares);
Math.pow (startingvalue, 3);
sumofcubes = startingvalue ++;
System.out.println (" The sum of cubes is:");
reader.readInt (sumofcubes);See how when you post code using the CODE button it is easier to read.
That looks right how you calculate the square but why do you add startingvalue to the sumofsquares variable instead? Also it would be a good idea to increment starting value at the end otherwise you will calulate the squares of 1,3,5,7 etc and the cubes of 2,4,6,8 etc.
