Problem:
Starting with the number 1 and moving to the right in a clockwise direction a 5 by 5 spiral is formed as follows:
21 22 23 24 25
20 7 8 9 10
19 6 1 2 11
18 5 4 3 12
17 16 15 14 13
It can be verified that the sum of the numbers on the diagonals is 101.
What is the sum of the numbers on the diagonals in a 1001 by 1001 spiral formed in the same way? My Solution:
Note: You can simplifies the coding :)

static void Main(string[] args) { static void Main(string[] args) { int limit = 1001 * 1001; int count = 0; int loopCount = 2; int sum = 1; //1 coz the centervalue is 1. In loop counting from 3. // every 4 iteration the increment count is adding +2 for (int i = 3; i <= limit; i += loopCount) { sum += i; count += 1; if (count >= 4) { loopCount += 2; count = 0; } } Console.WriteLine(sum); Console.ReadLine(); } }
