Answer:
def sumsteps2(n):
sum = 0
if n % 2 == 1:
n += 1
for i in range(1, n+1, 2):
sum += i
return sum
print("Sum is: " + str(sumsteps2(11)))
Explanation:
- Create a function called sumsteps2() that takes one parameter, n
- Initialize the sum as 0
- Check if n is odd. If it is odd, increment the n by 1, to make it inclusive
- Initialize a for loop that iterates from 1 to n in increments of 2
- Add the numbers to the sum
- Return the sum
- Call the function to see the result
