Please help me to find sum 1+1/2^2+1/3^3

Question

in c

Answer 1

when for example you say "1/2^2" do you mean "(1/2)^2" or "1/(2^2)"? cause mathematically those two are very different

Answer 2

in that case here you go

Answer 3

I mean(1/2)^2sorry for inconvenience

Answer 4

in c to raise a number to power you should use a pow function from math.h library (or cmath if it's c++). So you should

#include <math.h>

and then

float sum = 1.0+pow(1.0/2.0, 2)+pow(1.0/3.0, 2)

or, instead of using pow you can actually do

float sum = 1.0+((1.0/2.0)*(1.0/2.0))+((1.0/3.0)*(1.0/3.0)*(1.0/3.0))

it will actually be calculated faster, then the variant with pow
