Task 4 [Computing Pl via Leibniz series] This task is to help you use for-loops for mathematical expressions in code. It is an irrational number that means it cannot be expressed as a fraction. Ever wonder how we compute ? One of the pioneers of the mechanical calculator, Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz, proved that could be expressed with the following infinite series: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 + + 35-7 1 1 1 + 9 11 13 15 17 19 TT 4 Notice the alternating plus/minus sign in the series. We call each of the fractions in the series a "term." To compute π requires the summing of an infinite number of terms; however, in practice, this is not possible. Instead, we can only approximate the true value using a finite number of terms. Using the Leibniz formula, the more terms we compute in the series, the more accurate our calculation of π. Your task is to compute π up to a user-specified number of terms (i.e., up to M terms). Don't get scared of math, it is easy once you understand it. The Σ (sigma) symbol is a mathematician's way of We can rewrite Leibniz's series in a more compact form as
Types of Loop
Loops are the elements of programming in which a part of code is repeated a particular number of times. Loop executes the series of statements many times till the conditional statement becomes false.
Loops
Any task which is repeated more than one time is called a loop. Basically, loops can be divided into three types as while, do-while and for loop. There are so many programming languages like C, C++, JAVA, PYTHON, and many more where looping statements can be used for repetitive execution.
While Loop
Loop is a feature in the programming language. It helps us to execute a set of instructions regularly. The block of code executes until some conditions provided within that Loop are true.
