Project Euler #6: Sum square difference

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

12 + 22 + … + 102 = 385
The square of the sum of the first ten natural numbers is,

(1 + 2 + … + 10)2 = 552 = 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.

#include <iostream>

int main(void)
{
      double sumOfSquare = 0;
      double squareOfSum = 0;
      for(int i = 0; i <= 100; i++)
      {
            squareOfSum += i;
            sumOfSquare += (i*i);
      }
      squareOfSum *= squareOfSum;
      std::cout << std::endl << std::fixed << "Square of the sum: " << squareOfSum;
      std::cout << std::endl << std::fixed << "Sum of the squares: " << sumOfSquare;
      std::cout << std::endl << std::fixed << "Their difference is: " << squareOfSum - sumOfSquare;
return 0;
}
