Dear All,

I have problem regarding the following, can anyone help, please...

/* function aim : should ask for the number of summation terms and print out the result.

e.g if the input is 2, the answer should be
x=1/2 + 1/3 = 0.8333

if the input is 4, the anwer should be x=1/2+1/3+1/4+1/5 =
1.2833,*/


int sum_Sequence (int n)
{float answer;

if (n==0)
answer = 0;
else
answer = 1/n+1 + sum_sequence(n-1);
return (answer);
}

maybe...

float sumSequence( int n )
{
   if ( n == 0 ) 
      return 0
   return ( 1 / ( n + 1 ) )+ sumSequence( n - 1 )
}

I tried but it's not work.

Because of the integer division? Do something like
return ( 1.0 / ( n + 1 ) )+ sumSequence( n - 1 )

or use a cast operator.
