Given a series of numbers 1, 2, 4, 3, 5, 7, 9, 6, 8, 10, 11, 13… The task is to find the sum of all the numbers in series till N-th number. 
Examples: 
 

Input: N = 4 
Output: 10 
1 + 2 + 4 + 3 = 10 
Input: N = 10 
Output: 55

Approach: The series is basically 20 odd numbers, 21 even numbers, 22 even numbers…. The sum of first N odd numbers is N * N and sum of first N even numbers is (N * (N+1)). Calculate the summation for 2i odd or even numbers and keep adding them to the sum. 
Iterate for every power of 2, till the number of iterations exceeds N, and keep adding the respective summation of odd or even numbers according to the parity. For every segment the sum of the segment will be, (current sum of X odd/even numbers – previous sum of Y odd/even numbers), where X is the total sum of odd/even numbers till this segment and Y is the summation of odd/even numbers till the previous when odd/even numbers occurred. 
Below is the implementation of the above approach: 
 

C++




// C++ program to implement
// the above approach
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find the
// sum of first N odd numbers
int sumodd(int n)
{
    return (n * n);
}
 
// Function to find the
// sum of first N even numbers
int sumeven(int n)
{
    return (n * (n + 1));
}
 
// Function to overall
// find the sum of series
int findSum(int num)
{
 
    // Initial odd numbers
    int sumo = 0;
 
    // Initial even numbers
    int sume = 0;
 
    // First power of 2
    int x = 1;
 
    // Check for parity
    // for odd/even
    int cur = 0;
 
    // Counts the sum
    int ans = 0;
    while (num > 0) {
 
        // Get the minimum
        // out of remaining num
        // or power of 2
        int inc = min(x, num);
 
        // Decrease that much numbers
        // from num
        num -= inc;
 
        // If the segment has odd numbers
        if (cur == 0) {
 
            // Summate the odd numbers
            // By exclusion
            ans = ans + sumodd(sumo + inc) - sumodd(sumo);
 
            // Increase number of odd numbers
            sumo += inc;
        }
        // If the segment has even numbers
        else {
 
            // Summate the even numbers
            // By exclusion
            ans = ans + sumeven(sume + inc) - sumeven(sume);
 
            // Increase number of even numbers
            sume += inc;
        }
 
        // Next set of numbers
        x *= 2;
 
        // Change parity for odd/even
        cur ^= 1;
    }
 
    return ans;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int n = 4;
    cout << findSum(n);
 
    return 0;
}
