+# Difference Of Squares
+
+Find the difference between the sum of the squares and the square of the sums of the first N natural numbers.
+
+The square of the sum of the first ten natural numbers is,
+
+    (1 + 2 + ... + 10)**2 = 55**2 = 3025
+
+The sum of the squares of the first ten natural numbers is,
+
+    1**2 + 2**2 + ... + 10**2 = 385
+
+Hence the difference between the square of the sum of the first
+ten natural numbers and the sum of the squares is 2640:
+
+    3025 - 385 = 2640
+
+## Getting Started
+
+Make sure you have read the [getting started with C++](http://help.exercism.io/getting-started-with-cpp.html)
+page on the [exercism help site](http://help.exercism.io/).  This covers
+the basic information on setting up the development environment expected
+by the exercises.
+
+## Passing the Tests
+
+Get the first test compiling, linking and passing by following the [three
+rules of test-driven development](http://butunclebob.com/ArticleS.UncleBob.TheThreeRulesOfTdd).
+Create just enough structure by declaring namespaces, functions, classes,
+etc., to satisfy any compiler errors and get the test to fail.  Then write
+just enough code to get the test to pass.  Once you've done that,
+uncomment the next test by moving the following line past the next test.
+
+```C++
+#if defined(EXERCISM_RUN_ALL_TESTS)
+```
+
+This may result in compile errors as new constructs may be invoked that
+you haven't yet declared or defined.  Again, fix the compile errors minimally
+to get a failing test, then change the code minimally to pass the test,
+refactor your implementation for readability and expressiveness and then
+go on to the next test.
+
+Try to use standard C++11 facilities in preference to writing your own
+low-level algorithms or facilities by hand.  [CppReference](http://en.cppreference.com/)
+is a wiki reference to the C++ language and standard library.  If you
+are new to C++, but have programmed in C, beware of
+[C traps and pitfalls](http://www.slideshare.net/LegalizeAdulthood/c-traps-and-pitfalls-for-c-programmers).
