Given a positive integer n and the task is to find sum of series 1 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 3 + . . . + n. 
Examples: 
 

Input : n = 5
Output : 55
   = 1 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 
     4 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5.
   = 55

Input : n = 10
Output : 385


 


Addition method: In addition method sum all the elements one by one. 
Below is the implementation of this approach. 
 

C++ 
// Program to find
// sum of series
// 1 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 
// . . . + n
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// Function that find
// sum of series.
int sumOfSeries(int n)
{
    int sum = 0;
    for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++)
        for (int j = 1; j <= i; j++)
            sum = sum + i;
    return sum;
}

// Driver function
int main()
{
    int n = 10;

    // Function call
    cout << sumOfSeries(n);
    return 0;
}
Java 
// Java Program to
// find sum of 
// series
// 1 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 
// . . . + n
public class GfG{

    // Function that find 
    // sum of series.
    static int sumOfSeries(int n)
    {
        int sum = 0;
        
        for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++)
            for (int j = 1; j <= i; j++)
                sum = sum + i;
        
        return sum;
    }
    
    // Driver Code
    public static void main(String s[])
    {
        int n = 10;
        System.out.println(sumOfSeries(n));
        
    }
}

Output: 

385


Time Complexity: O(n2)

Auxiliary Space: O(1)
Multiplication method:In multiplication method every elements multiply by itself and then add them.

Time Complexity: O(n)

Auxiliary Space: O(1)
Using formula: We also use formula to find the sum of series. 
 

    Input n = 10;
   Sum of series = (n * (n + 1) * (2 * n + 1)) / 6
    put n = 10 in the above formula
    sum = (10 * (10 + 1) * (2 * 10 + 1)) / 6
        = (10 * 11 * 21) / 6
        = 385
