C++

Exercise 30 defines the number e and Exercise 31 shows how to approximate the value of e using a different expression. Interestingly, the value of e can be approximated using the following expression:

2+1/1+1/2+2/3+3/4+4/5+5…/(n-1)+(n-1)/n+n

Write a program that uses this formula to approximate the value of e. Test your program for n = 3, 5, 10, 50, and 100.

Expert Solution
Step 1: Code

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

float cal(int i, int n)

{

if(i == n)

return ((i-1) + (i-1)/(i+i));

static float sum = 2, j=0;

j += i + i/cal(i+1, n);

sum += 1/j;

return sum;

}

int main()

{

int n = 3;

float j = cal(1, n);

cout << n << " : " << j << endl;

n = 5;

j = cal(1, n);

cout << n << " : " << j << endl;

n = 10;

j = cal(1, n);

cout << n << " : " << j << endl;

n = 50;

j = cal(1, n);

cout << n << " : " << j << endl;

n = 100;

j = cal(1, n);

cout << n << " : " << j << endl;

return 0;

}
