Looping question

Looking to find out how to write a program in C to calcilate Eulars number. The following formula is used for the e=1+1/1!+1/2!+1/3!+1/4!+1/5!+1/6!...+1/(n-1)!+1/n!.

The program needs to approximate e using a loop that terminates when the difference between 2 consecutive numbers differs by less than .0000001.

I have been working on this for a while and just need some pointers.

Thanks,
Sparky

So post some code then, and lets see where you've got to

Hate to break it to ya, but you're screwed. Floating point numbers tend to not be that great for precision.

Quzah.
