# Difference Of Squares
Find the difference between the square of the sum and the sum of the squares of the first N natural numbers.
The square of the sum of the first ten natural numbers is
(1 + 2 + ... + 10)² = 55² = 3025.
The sum of the squares of the first ten natural numbers is
1² + 2² + ... + 10² = 385.
Hence the difference between the square of the sum of the first
ten natural numbers and the sum of the squares of the first ten
natural numbers is 3025 - 385 = 2640.
You are not expected to discover an efficient solution to this yourself from
first principles; research is allowed, indeed, encouraged. Finding the best
algorithm for the problem is a key skill in software engineering.
## Rust Installation
Refer to the [exercism help page][help-page] for Rust installation and learning
resources.
## Writing the Code
Execute the tests with:
```bash
$ cargo test
```
All but the first test have been ignored. After you get the first test to
pass, open the tests source file which is located in the `tests` directory
and remove the `#[ignore]` flag from the next test and get the tests to pass
again. Each separate test is a function with `#[test]` flag above it.
Continue, until you pass every test.
If you wish to run all ignored tests without editing the tests source file, use:
```bash
$ cargo test -- --ignored
```
To run a specific test, for example `some_test`, you can use:
```bash
$ cargo test some_test
```
If the specific test is ignored use:
```bash
$ cargo test some_test -- --ignored
```
To learn more about Rust tests refer to the [online test documentation][rust-tests]
Make sure to read the [Modules][modules] chapter if you
haven't already, it will help you with organizing your files.
## Further improvements
After you have solved the exercise, please consider using the additional utilities, described in the [installation guide](https://exercism.io/tracks/rust/installation), to further refine your final solution.
To format your solution, inside the solution directory use
```bash
cargo fmt
```
To see, if your solution contains some common ineffective use cases, inside the solution directory use
```bash
cargo clippy --all-targets
```
## Submitting the solution
Generally you should submit all files in which you implemented your solution (`src/lib.rs` in most cases). If you are using any external crates, please consider submitting the `Cargo.toml` file. This will make the review process faster and clearer.
## Feedback, Issues, Pull Requests
The [exercism/rust](https://github.com/exercism/rust) repository on GitHub is the home for all of the Rust exercises. If you have feedback about an exercise, or want to help implement new exercises, head over there and create an issue. Members of the rust track team are happy to help!
