I am looking for the name of an operation similar to factorial.
Factorial would be like:
6! = 6*5*4*3*2*1
but if the operator is "+" and not "*", like:
6+5+4+3+2+1
What would I call this?
Edit:
Sorry, it seems this was a duplicate question. The answer appears to be "nth triangular number". Although that's really not as satisfying and concise as the word "factorial".
