Unbelievable result

[Marcee]

The programme should remove the sum of squares of whole numbers Boundaries are set from 5 square to 9 square In input 5 and 9, the programme produces results 4369973 instead of 255 What is this about?

''

#include <stdio.h>
int main()

{

int min, max, sum;

printf("Input min and max interger limit: ");

scanf("%d %d", &min, &max);
while (min != max)
{
    for (int i = min*min; i &lt;= max*max; ++i)
        sum = sum + i * i;
    printf("The sum of squares from %d to %d = %d \n", min*min,max*max,sum);
    printf("Input min and max interger limit again: ");
    scanf("%d %d", &amp;min, &amp;max);
}
printf("Well Done\n");

}

I fixed it. a few. Compare your code and figure out why and why these corrections... I mean, what's the same amount when entering the main cycle?

int main()
{
    int min, max, sum;
    printf("Input min and max interger limit: ");
    scanf("%d %d", &min, &max);
while (min < max)
{
    sum = 0;
    for (int i = min; i <= max; ++i)
        sum = sum + i * i;
    printf("The sum of squares from %d to %d = %d \n", min,max,sum);

    printf("Input min and max interger limit again: ");
    scanf("%d %d", &min, &max);
}
printf("Well Done\n");

}

Also corrected the cycle condition

while (min < max)

Because if you lead, say, 9 and 5 (not 5 and 9) - surprise the result:

In fact, you can just write without a cumulative cycle:

printf("The sum of squares from %d to %d = %d \n",

min,max,(max*(1 + max)(1 + 2max) - min*(1 + (2*min - 3)*min))/6);
