Calculating a sum of serial number is a simple math with loop and 'if' state.

However, without them, it needs some brain work.

This is an expression, the sum of arithmetic progression.

** n: a number of series, a1: first number, an: last number

Problem is we cannot know which number is greater. Without if state, there is no way to get a right answer.

So what I've done is to print out the both cases, first number is greater and second number is greater.

Code goes...

// Algorithm for finding sum of serial number
// without using 'if' state

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

int main(void)
{
  int iNum1, iNum2;
  int iCnt1, iCnt2;
  int iSum1, iSum2;

  puts("Input two numbers");
  scanf("%d %d", &iNum1, &iNum2);

  iCnt1 = iNum2 - iNum1 +1;
  iCnt2 = iNum1 - iNum2 +1;

  iSum1 = (iCnt1 * (iNum1 + iNum2))/2;
  iSum2 = (iCnt2 * (iNum1 + iNum2))/2;

  puts("If a second number is bigger than first one, the answer is [iSum1] or else");
  printf("Sum1 is [%d] and Sum2 is [%d]\n", iSum1, iSum2);
  
  return
