Write a program that performs the following: 1) request an integer input by the user 2) display the value of 1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + ... + 1/n to five decimal places 3) display the average to five decimal places Input text can be any content. Just make sure to precisely match the output format below.
Operations
In mathematics and computer science, an operation is an event that is carried out to satisfy a given task. Basic operations of a computer system are input, processing, output, storage, and control.
Basic Operators
An operator is a symbol that indicates an operation to be performed. We are familiar with operators in mathematics; operators used in computer programming are—in many ways—similar to mathematical operators.
Division Operator
We all learnt about division—and the division operator—in school. You probably know of both these symbols as representing division:
Modulus Operator
Modulus can be represented either as (mod or modulo) in computing operation. Modulus comes under arithmetic operations. Any number or variable which produces absolute value is modulus functionality. Magnitude of any function is totally changed by modulo operator as it changes even negative value to positive.
Operators
In the realm of programming, operators refer to the symbols that perform some function. They are tasked with instructing the compiler on the type of action that needs to be performed on the values passed as operands. Operators can be used in mathematical formulas and equations. In programming languages like Python, C, and Java, a variety of operators are defined.
Write a program that performs the following:
1) request an integer input by the user
2) display the value of 1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + ... + 1/n to five decimal places
3) display the average to five decimal places
Input text can be any content. Just make sure to precisely match the output format below.
Write your entire program in the Answer area provided below (must include comments if using code is not covered in the course).
Example Output
Enter an integer: 100
The sum 1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + ... + 1/n (n = 100) is 5.18738.
The average is 0.05187.
PYthon
#declare sumOfNumbers and averageOfNumbers
sumOfNumbers=0
averageOfNumbers=0
#input the value of n
n=int(input("Enter a number: "));
#iterate the loop from 1 to n inclusive
for i in range(1,n+1):
sumOfNumbers+= 1/float(i) #either of value to be converted to float
print "%.5f"%sumOfNumbers #displaying sum with precision 5
print "%.5f"%(float(sumOfNumbers)/n)#displaying average precision with 5
