# Difference Of Squares
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Find the difference between the sum of the squares and the square of the sums of the first N natural numbers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The square of the sum of the first ten natural numbers is,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(1 + 2 + ... + 10)**2 = 55**2 = 3025
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The sum of the squares of the first ten natural numbers is,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1**2 + 2**2 + ... + 10**2 = 385
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Hence the difference between the square of the sum of the first
|
||
|
|
ten natural numbers and the sum of the squares is 2640:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3025 - 385 = 2640
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To run the tests simply run the command `go test` in the exercise directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the test suite contains benchmarks, you can run these with the `-bench`
|
||
|
|
flag:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
go test -bench .
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
