Convert this to c def foo(x): sum = 0 for i in range(x): x += i sum += x return sum
Convert this to c def foo(x): sum = 0 for i in range(x): x += i sum += x return sum
Okay, here's the C equivalent of the Python function `foo`. There's a crucial detail: In Python, `range(x)` uses the value of `x` *at the start* of the loop to determine the number of iterations. Modifications to `x` *inside* the loop don't change how many times the loop runs. We need to replicate this behavior in C by storing the original value of `x` for the loop condition. Also, since `x` and `sum` can grow large, using `long long` for `sum` and the intermediate `x` value inside the loop is safer to prevent potential integer overflow.
