Question

The mathematical constant “e” can be expressed as an infinite series: e = 1 + 1/1! + 1/2! + 1/3! + ... Write a program that will print an approximate value of “e” by computing the series out to 1/n!, where n is an integer entered by the user. In other words, calculate: e = 1 + 1/1! + 1/2! + ... + 1/n! Note: “e” will be a floating point type. Hint: Use two “for” loops – one to go through each term, and another to determine the factorial part for each term.

          The mathematical constant “e” can be expressed as an infinite series:
e = 1 + 1/1! + 1/2! + 1/3! + ...
Write a program that will print an approximate value of “e” by computing the series out to 1/n!, where n is an
integer entered by the user. In other words, calculate:
e = 1 + 1/1! + 1/2! + ... + 1/n!
Note: “e” will be a floating point type. Hint: Use two “for” loops – one to go through each term, and another
to determine the factorial part for each term.
