Easy90 Days of Looping

Inputs

start and stop are whole numbers from 0 to 60, and start is at most stop. step is a whole number from 1 to 10.

Create a number total that starts at 0.
Use a loop that starts at start, jumps by step each round, and stops once it passes stop. Add every value it lands on, including stop if it lands there, to total.
Complete stepSum so it returns total. Return it, do not print it.

With start = 2 and stop = 14 and step = 4, stepSum returns 32.

TEST DATA 1: start is 2, stop is 14, step is 4

TEST DATA 2: start is 5, stop is 5, step is 3

Loops that count, add up and multiply. Every algorithm starts here: a counter, a total and a stopping point.
