This is my assignment and for the life of me i cant seem to think of a way to do it. This is the code I have so far:
sum = 0
k = 1
while k <= 0.0001:if k % 2 == 1:sum = sum + 1.0/kelse:sum = sum - 1.0/kk = k + 1print()
This is my assignment :
Create a python program named sumseries.py that does the following:Put comments at the top of your program with your name, date, anddescription of what the program does.
Write a program to calculate and display the sum of the series:
1 - 1/2 + 1/3 - 1/4 + ...
until a term is reached that is less than 0.0001.
The answer with 10,000 iterations appears to be 0.6930971830599583
I ran the program with 1,000,000,000 (billion) iterations and came up with a number of 0.6931471810606472. I need to create a loop to programmably create the series.
