Computer coding

Question

1. What does this function do?

float function(int x) {

float result = 0.0;

float sign = 1.0 

for (int n = 1; n <x;n = n + 2) {

result = result + sign / n;

}

return 4.0 * result;

}

1. Compute an approximation of sqrt(2)
2. Compute an approximation of e
3. Compute an approximation of sin(n)
4. Compute an approximation of pi

Answer 1

None of these answers are correct and also there is a compiler error...

The semi-colon is missing in the line:

float sign = 1.0 

the series diverges because the common ratio is greater than one.
