Programming in Python - L28: FOR loop to calculate sum of first n numbers in python

Welcome to Lecture 28 of the course "Programming in Python" by Prof. Sudarshan Iyengar. Full Course: https://study.iitm.ac.in/ds/course_pages/BSCS1002.html Video Overview In this lecture we learn how to write a Python program to calculate the sum of the first n integers. We begin with manual addition and then transition to using a for loop to efficiently sum larger sets of numbers. This lecture covers variable initialization the range function and demonstrates the power of loops in Python. We also include user input and highlight the efficiency gains that computers provide when handling repetitive calculations.
