How to calculate sum of series 1 + 11 + 111 + 1111 + ... N in C

Answer 1

#include <stdio.h>

// sum = 1 + 11 + 111 + 1111 + ... N 
 
long sum_of_series(int N) {
    long sum = 0, tmp = 1;
	
	for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
		printf("%ld ", tmp);
		
		if (i < N - 1)
			printf("+ ");
		
		sum += tmp;
		tmp = (tmp * 10) + 1;		
	} 
	
	return sum;
}
 
int main()
{
    int N = 6;

	printf("= %ld", sum_of_series(N));

	return 0;
}
