PHP program to find the sum of the first n natural numbers who are not powers of a specific number ‘k’
To find the sum of the first n natural numbers who are not powers of a specific number ‘k’, the code is as follows −
Example
<?php
function sum_of_nums($n_val, $k_val)
{
$tot_sum = ($n_val * ($n_val + 1)) / 2;
$pow_val = $k_val;
while ($pow_val <= $n_val)
{
$tot_sum -= $pow_val;
$pow_val *= $k_val;
}
return $tot_sum;
}
$n_val = 20; $k_val = 3;
print_r("The sum of fist 20 natural numbers that are not powers of 3 is ");
echo sum_of_nums($n_val, $k_val);
?>Output
The sum of fist 20 natural numbers that are not powers of 3 is 198
A function named ‘sum_of_nums’ is defined and it calculates the sum of natural numbers that are not powers of a certain value. The number and the non-power number are passed as parameters to this function. Outside the function, a value each for n and k is defined and the function is called on these values. Relevant output is displayed on the console.
