#Project Euler Problem 6: #https://projecteuler.net/problem=6

#Sum square difference
|
|
|
|
#The sum of the squares of the first ten natural numbers #is,
|
|
# 1^2 + 2^2 + ... + 10^2 = 385
|
|
#The square of the sum of the first ten natural numbers #is,
|
|
# (1 + 2 + ... + 10)^2 = 55^2 = 3025
|
|
#Hence the difference between the sum of the squares of #the first ten
|
|
#natural numbers and the square of the sum is 3025 - 385 = 2640.
|
|
#Find the difference between the sum of the squares of the first one
|
|
#hundred natural numbers and the square of the sum.
