Sum even numbers from 1 to 100

I need help with this assignment. I'm very new to using UNIX/LINUX, and my only previous experience with programing anything is using python.

We are writing scripts using vim, and this one I'm stumped on.

"Write a shell script that finds and display the sum of even positive integers from 0 to 100. Use the while control structure. Show your script and a sample run.

Example: Sum of 0+2+4+6+8+10+12+14............+96+98+100. "

I can find examples of listing even and odd numbers, but everything else I seem to find is adding numbers from an input from the user, but I want to add the numbers together from a range of {1..100}.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

NAME
exicyclog - Cycle exim's logfiles SYNOPSIS
eximcyclog DESCRIPTION
The exicyclog script can be used to cycle (rotate) mainlog and rejectlog files. This is not necessary if only syslog is being used. Some operating systems have their own standard mechanisms for log cycling, and these can be used instead of exicyclog if preferred. Each time exicyclog is run the file names get 'shuffled down' by one. If the main log file name is mainlog (the default) then when exicy- clog is run mainlog becomes mainlog.01, the previous mainlog.01 becomes mainlog.02 and so on, up to a limit which is set in the script, and which defaults to 10. Reject logs are handled similarly. If no mainlog file exists, the script does nothing. Files that 'drop off' the end are deleted. All files with numbers greater than 01 are compressed, using a compression command which is configured by the COMPRESS_COMMAND setting in Local/Makefile. It is usual to run "exicy- clog" daily from a root "crontab" entry of the form 1 0 * * * su exim -c /usr/exim/bin/exicyclog assuming you have used the name 'exim' for the Exim user. You can run exicyclog as root if you wish, but there is no need. BUGS
