Explanation of Solution

Initialization of accumulator variable:

Accumulator is the variable which is used to accumulate the total of the numbers in the running total.

  • The running total is that which is used to calculate the sum of numbers that is accumulated in a separate variable for each iteration of a loop.
  • The variable that is used to keep the total is referred as accumulator.

Diagrammatic representation to set the accumulator:

  • In the above diagram, the accumulator variable is initialized to 0 at the first step.
  • This step is most essential one, because each times the loop iterates it adds the value to the accumulator.
  • If the accumulator variable is set other than 0, then the correct total cannot be calculated while finishing the loop...
