2 and b are constants while a is not. For constants you have to know that the
sum is cst*nloop, while if a is incremented you have to know that it is related
to nloop*(nloop+1)/2 (and if you use sum += a*a, nloop*(nloop+1)*(2*nloop+1)/6,
if sum += a*a*a, nloop^2*(nloop+1)^2/4 and so on).

However is it worth the work?
