Given a series: 
 

Sn = 1*3 + 3*5 + 5*7 + … 

It is required to find the sum of first n terms of this series represented by Sn, where n is given taken input.
Examples
 

Input : n = 2 
Output : S<sub>n</sub> = 18
Explanation:
The sum of first 2 terms of Series is
1*3 + 3*5
= 3 + 15 
= 18

Input : n = 4 
Output : S<sub>n</sub> = 116
Explanation:
The sum of first 4 terms of Series is
1*3 + 3*5 + 5*7 + 7*9
= 3 + 15 + 35 + 63
= 116

Let, the n-th term be denoted by tn
This problem can easily be solved by observing that the nth term can be founded by following method:
 

tn = (n-th term of (1, 3, 5, … ) )*(nth term of (3, 5, 7, ….))

Now, n-th term of series 1, 3, 5 is given by 2*n-1 
and, the n-th term of series 3, 5, 7 is given by 2*n+1
Putting these two values in tn:
 

tn = (2*n-1)*(2*n+1) = 4*n*n-1

Now, the sum of first n terms will be given by :
 

Sn = ∑(4*n*n – 1) 
=∑4*{n*n}-∑(1)

Now, it is known that the sum of first n terms of series n*n (1, 4, 9, …) is given by: n*(n+1)*(2*n+1)/6 
And sum of n number of 1’s is n itself.
Now, putting values in Sn:
 

Sn = 4*n*(n+1)*(2*n+1)/6 – n 
= n*(4*n*n + 6*n – 1)/3

Now, Sn value can be easily found by putting the desired value of n.
Below is the implementation of the above approach: 
 

C++




// C++ program to find sum of first n terms
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
int calculateSum(int n)
{
    // Sn = n*(4*n*n + 6*n - 1)/3
    return (n * (4 * n * n + 6 * n - 1) / 3);
}
 
int main()
{
    // number of terms to be included in the sum
    int n = 4;
 
    // find the Sn
    cout << "Sum = " << calculateSum(n);
 
    return 0;
}


Java




// Java program to find sum
// of first n terms
class GFG
{
    static int calculateSum(int n)
    {
        // Sn = n*(4*n*n + 6*n - 1)/3
        return (n * (4 * n * n +
                     6 * n - 1) / 3);
    }
 
    // Driver Code
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        // number of terms to be
        // included in the sum
        int n = 4;
     
        // find the Sn
        System.out.println("Sum = " +
                            calculateSum(n));
    }
}

    # Sn = n*(4*n*n + 6*n - 1)/3
    return (n * (4 * n * n +
                 6 * n - 1) / 3);
 
# Driver Code

    return (n * (4 * n * n +
                 6 * n - 1) / 3);
}
 
// Driver code
static public void Main ()
{
    // number of terms to be

{
    // Sn = n*(4*n*n + 6*n - 1)/3
    return ($n * (4 * $n * $n +
                  6 * $n - 1) / 3);

// number of terms to be

Javascript




<script>
 
// Javascript program to find sum
// of first n terms
 
    function calculateSum( n) {
        // Sn = n*(4*n*n + 6*n - 1)/3
        return (n * (4 * n * n + 6 * n - 1) / 3);
    }
 
    // Driver Code
      
        // number of terms to be
        // included in the sum
        let n = 4;
 
        // find the Sn
        document.write("Sum = " + calculateSum(n));
         
// This code contributed by Princi Singh
 
</script>


Output: 

Sum = 116

 

Time Complexity: O(1)

Auxiliary Space: O(1), since no extra space has been taken.

METHOD 2:Using list comprehension .

APPROACH:

This program calculates the sum of the series 1*3 + 3*5 + … using a list comprehension to generate the terms of the series and then finding their sum. The input value n determines the number of terms in the series to be generated and added. The sum of the series is then printed as the output.

ALGORITHM:

1.Take input value for n.
2.Generate the series using a list comprehension and store it in the series list.
3.Calculate the sum of the series list using the sum() function and store it in the variable sum.
4.Print the value of sum as the output.

Python3




# Using a list comprehension
n = 4
series = [(2*i+1)*(2*i+3) for i in range(n)]
sum = sum(series)
print("Sum of the series:", sum)


Output

Sum of the series: 116

Time Complexity:
The time complexity of this program is O(n), where n is the input value. This is because the program generates n terms of the series and then calculates their sum using the sum() function, which has a time complexity of O(n).

Space Complexity:
The space complexity of this program is also O(n), where n is the input value. This is because the program generates n terms of the series and stores them in the series list, which has a space complexity of O(n). The variable sum also requires constant space, so it does not affect the space complexity.
