#include <stdio.h>

#define DIVISOR 10

int main()
{
int i;
double sum;

sum = 0;
for(i = 0; i <= 10; ++i)
sum += i*i;

The loop iterates i through these values: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
and 10. Now, 1 to 10 clearly gives us ten values, and 0 gives us an
eleventh, so DIVISOR should surely be 11, not 10?
