Given variables int areaBound and int sum, write a snippet of code that assigns to sum the result of adding up all integers of the form n2 + m2 where: both n and m are at least 1, and n2 < areaBound , and m2 < areaBound .

This code calculates the sum of all integers that can be represented by the formula ( n^2 + m^2 ), where:

  1. ( n ) and ( m ) are integers greater than or equal to 1.
  2. ( n^2 ) and ( m^2 ) (the squares of ( n ) and ( m )) are less than a given boundary value, areaBound.

Here is a possible implementation of the snippet:

sum = 0;

for (int n = 1; n * n < areaBound; ++n) { // Loop over n where n^2 < areaBound
    for (int m = 1; m * m < areaBound; ++m) { // Loop over m where m^2 < areaBound
        sum += n * n + m * m; // Add n^2 + m^2 to the sum
    }
}

How it works:

  1. The outer loop iterates over values of ( n ) starting from 1. It stops when ( n^2 ) (the square of ( n )) is no longer less than areaBound.
  2. The inner loop iterates over values of ( m ), also starting at 1. It stops when ( m^2 ) (the square of ( m )) is no longer less than areaBound.
  3. For each combination of ( n ) and ( m ) that satisfies ( n^2 < \text{areaBound} ) and ( m^2 < \text{areaBound} ), the code calculates the value of ( n^2 + m^2 ) and adds it to sum.

Use Case:

This code could be used in mathematical contexts or simulations where you're interested in summing particular expressions like ( n^2 + m^2 ) under specific constraints (areaBound).
