Sum square difference - Project Euler Solution

Topic: Sum square difference

Problem Statement:

The sum of the squares of the first ten natural numbers is,

1^2 + 2^2 + ... + 10^2 = 385

The square of the sum of the first ten natural numbers is,

(1+2+3...+10)^2 = 55^2 = 3025

Hence the difference between the sum of the squares of the first ten natural numbers and the square of the sum is .

3025 - 385 = 2640

Find the difference between the sum of the squares of the first one hundred natural numbers and the square of the sum.
