Huw to create counter?

"Counters are useful programming tools, for example, to keep track of how many times a command has been executed. Create a counter in the variable r and set it to 1. Then write a loop that increases for each turn on the counter by one and then adds the value of the counter to a sum. Save the sum to the variable sum. The loop should go between 1 and 10"

I've gotten this task and the starting code below. But I don't understand what to do? (Just learning matlab)

r = ?

sum = +

for k = ?

r ?

sum?

end

Ops, here's the starting code again:

r = ?
summa = ?

for k=
    
    r ?
    summa ?
    
    
end

Answer 1

[Anna Nordin]

r = 0
summa = 0

for k=1:10
    
    r = r+1
    summa = summa + r
    
    
end

That was my interpretation of the problem, too. Just be sure to never have a variable named "sum" as is written in the instructions.
