Triangular current pulse plot of i (mA) against t (ms): zero before 0, rising linearly to 100 mA at 25 ms, then falling linearly to zero at 50 ms, and zero afterward.

I calculated all the required in this problem correctly but can't understand why the sum of energy extracted and absorbed is not zero.
They are:
>0: 0J
0 <=E<=25: 4t^2 J
25 <= E <= 50: 4t^2 - 0.4t + 10 * 10^-3t J
E > 50: 0 J

Does that mean that an inductor stores energy even after there is no current?
Thanks

Check your working.

The energy stored in an inductor depends only on the present instantaneous value of its current. So when current = 0, no energy is stored.
