* <p>

* In mathematics, an arithmetic progression (AP) or arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers such that the

* difference between the consecutive terms is constant. Difference here means the second minus the first.

* For instance, the sequence 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, . . . is an arithmetic progression with common difference of 2.
