# --description--
|
||
|
||
The sum of the squares of the first ten natural numbers is,
|
||
|
||
<div style='text-align: center;'>1<sup>2</sup> + 2<sup>2</sup> + ... + 10<sup>2</sup> = 385</div>
|
||
|
||
The square of the sum of the first ten natural numbers is,
|
||
|
||
<div style='text-align: center;'>(1 + 2 + ... + 10)<sup>2</sup> = 55<sup>2</sup> = 3025</div>
|
||
|
||
Hence the difference between the sum of the squares of the first ten natural numbers and the square of the sum is 3025 − 385 = 2640.
|
||
|
||
Find the difference between the sum of the squares of the first `n` natural numbers and the square of the sum.
|
||
|
||
# --hints--
|
||
|
||
`sumSquareDifference(10)` should return a number.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
assert(typeof sumSquareDifference(10) === 'number');
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`sumSquareDifference(10)` should return 2640.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
assert.strictEqual(sumSquareDifference(10), 2640);
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`sumSquareDifference(20)` should return 41230.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
assert.strictEqual(sumSquareDifference(20), 41230);
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`sumSquareDifference(100)` should return 25164150.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
assert.strictEqual(sumSquareDifference(100), 25164150);
|
||
```

# --solutions--
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
const sumSquareDifference = (number)=>{
|
||
let squareOfSum = Math.pow(sumOfArithmeticSeries(1,1,number),2);
|
||
let sumOfSquare = sumOfSquareOfNumbers(number);
|
||
return squareOfSum - sumOfSquare;
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
function sumOfArithmeticSeries(a,d,n){
|
||
return (n/2)*(2*a+(n-1)*d);
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
function sumOfSquareOfNumbers(n){
|
||
return (n*(n+1)*(2*n+1))/6;
|
||
}
