 */
#include <stdio.h>
 
void main()
{
    int  num, sum = 0;
 
    for (num = 1; num <= 50; num++)
    {
        sum = sum + num;

Program Explanation

In this C program, we are reading the sum of first 50 natural numbers using for loop. By initializing the value of ‘num’ variable as 1 and checks the condition that ‘num’ variable value is less than or equal to 50. If the condition is true then we are computing the summation of the value of ‘sum’ variable with the value of ‘num’ variable. After that, we are displaying the sum of first 50 natural numbers as output.
