Do we need to find the terms of number if we code this?

Question

If the series is
1/3+3/5+5/7+....+95/97+97/99

sum = 0
for i in range(1,100,2) :
for s in range(1,i+1):
sum += ((1)+(3))+ (5)

print("i = ",i,", ","sum is =", sum)
sum = 0
What's wrong with this?

Answer 1

I have given you the hint so now you should give it a try to write a code on your own. If you got any error then you can share it over here. We would definitely try to help you.

Answer 2

sumaiya sharmin check whether this code works or not.

sum = 0
for i in range(1,100,2):
sum += i/(i+2)
print("i = ",i,", ","sum is =", sum)

Answer 3

For the series that you have mention the methods would be

(Numerator + 1)/2 = nth term

(Denominator - 1)/2 = nth term

Answer 4

To get the numbers for your term you can use a range object like: range(1,100,2) which gives you the numbers 1,3,5,... For the calculation it depends if you have to calculate with fractions or with a division.

Answer 5

sum = 0
for i in range(1,98,2):
sum += i/(i+2)
print("i = ",i,", ","sum is =", sum)

Answer 6

The mistake in your code is that you are always adding (1+3+5) i.e 9 on every loop... Thus leading to wrong answer:
The correct solution would be as simple as this :
