Write a program that asks the user for a positive integer value. the program should use a loop to get the sum of all the integers from 1 up to the number entered. for example, if the user enters 50, the loop will find the sum of 1, 2, 3, 4, 50. input validation: do not accept a negative starting number.

Following are the program in c++  language

#include <iostream> // header file

using namespace std; // namespace  

int main() // main method

{

  int num, sum1 = 0; // variable declaration

  do

  {

      cout << "Enter the positive number:" << endl;

      cin >> num; // read number

     // cout << "You are entered a negative number" << endl;

  } while(num < 0);

  for(int k= 1; k <= num; k++)

      sum1 = sum1+k;

  cout << "Sum is: " << sum1<< endl;

  return 0;

}

Output :

Enter the positive number:5

Sum is: 15

Explanation:

In this program we taking a integer input in the "num" variable  from the user .

The do while loop is iterated  and check the entered integer validation i.e it check whether the entered integer is positive or not .If we entered the negative integer then it again ask for entering the value .

Finally we calculated the sum of all the integers from the 1 up to the user Entered value.

it would be a. excessive network collisions or d. slow connectivity between devices those would be my answer.
