How to store and print out a sum that's in a for loop?

The program is this: Insert a number, for example 5 and add it with all numbers below it. In this case, it would be 5+4+3+2+1=15

I have this:

var res = 0

function addUp3(num) {
  for (var i = 0; i <= num; i++) {
    console.log(i);
    res += i;
    console.log(res);
  }
}

I have no clue why it prints out random numbers.

The output of this was:
0,0,1,1,2,3,3,6 (without commas)

I’ve tried looking for an answer online, but they all want to do it with arrays, I don’t think it’s neccesary to do so. Can someone open my mind a bit please.

>Solution :

The for loop adds i each time. 0 + 1 + 2 + … n. The reason it’s printing twice is because you have 2 console.logs.

1. Log 1 prints 0 (i)
2. Log 2 prints 0 (res + i)
3. Log 3 prints 1 (i)
4. Log 4 prints 1 (res + i)
5. Log 5 prints 2 (i)
6. Log 6 prints 3 (res + i, which here would be 1 + 2)

If you just want the final answer, have a console.log(res) after your for loop

var res = 0

function addUp3(num) {
  for (var i = 0; i <= num; i++) {
    res += i;
  }
  console.log(res)
}
