In this exercise, use the following variables : i,lo, hi, and result. Assume that lo and hi each are associated with an int and
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

result = 0

i = lo

while i <= hi:

       result = result + i

       i += 1

Explanation:

Initialize the <em>result</em> as 0 to hold the summation value.

Since we are asked not to change the value of <em>lo</em> and <em>hi</em>, our loop control variable is <em>i</em> and initially it starts from <em>lo.</em>

Since we are asked to add the number from <em>lo</em> to <em>hi, </em>while loop condition checks it.

While the condition satisfies (during each iteration), the value of <em>i</em> is added to the result and the value of <em>i</em> is incremented by one.
