Program to find the sum of harmonic series?

Answer 1

Let's assume that you want the sum of the general harmonic series:

sum(n=0,inf): 1/(an+b)

Since we know that the harmonic series will converge to infinity, we'll also assume that you want the sum from 0 to n.

double genHarmonic(const double n, const double a, const double b) {

double sum = 0.0;

// perform calculations

int k;

for(k = 0; k <= n; ++k) {

sum += 1.0 / (a * k + b);

}

return sum;

}

Answer 2

Class HarmonicSeries{

public static void main(String args[]){

int num = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);

double result = 0.0;

while(num > 0){

result = result + (double) 1 / num;

num--;

}

System.out.printl of Harmonic Series is "+result);

}

}
