Your task is to write a computer program that computes an approximation for e using the formula given below: 1 1 + 4! 1 1 + 1! 1 + 1 + 6! 1 e = 1 + 2! 3! 5! n! The input to the problem is a positive integer, n, that represents the number of terms you wish to sum in your approximation. The output is the resulting calcuation of that summation. For example, if: INPUT CALCULATION OUTPUT n = 1 e = 1 1 n = 2 e = 1 + 1/1! 2 n = 3 e = 1+ 1/1! + 1/2! 2.5 n = 50 e = 1+ 1/1! + 1/2! + ... + 1/49! 2.7182818284590455 NOTE: You are not allowed to use any built-in factorial function in your solution (you are not allowed to import the math library for this problem) + +
