-    Find the sum of n terms in an arithmetic progression.
+    Calculates the sum of the first 'n' terms of an arithmetic progression (AP)
+    series with the first term 'a' and common difference 'd'.

+    a (int): The first term of the AP.
+    d (int): The common difference between terms.
+    n (int): The number of terms to sum.

+    int: The sum of the first 'n' terms of the AP.
