Value of e is to be found by the formula
e=1+1/1!+1/2!+1/3!+..................
The following code give value only upto 5!.Although it should increment num and use the new value (ie 5!*6!*7!*..........)again.What's wrong?
Code:
#include<iostream>
#include<conio.h>
using std::cout;
using std::cin;
using std::endl;
int main()
{
// declare and initialize variable/s
int num=5,factorial=1;
double result;
// display the approx value of e
while(num>0)
{
factorial=factorial*num;
num-=1;
result=1+factorial;
}
cout<<"\n\n\t\t\te = "<<1/result;
num+=1;
getch();
}
