Scary Math Symbols Are For-Loops

Text on the meme

btw these large scary math symbols are just for-loops Summation (capital sigma) 4 3n n=0 sum = 0; for( n=0; n<=4; n++ ) sum += 3*n; Product (capital pi) 4 2n n=1 prod = 1; for( n=1; n<=4; n++ ) prod *= 2*n;

What it means

A tweet explains that the intimidating summation and product symbols are simply compact ways to write for-loops in programming. The joke is aimed at programmers and math students who find mathematical notation scary until it is translated into familiar code.
