    Question exponential

    Prepare a program that reads two integers x and n,
    and calculate exp using the following formula:

    exp = 1+ x/1 +x2/2! +x3/3! + ...

    x2,x3 means x power 2, x power 3.

    The integer n is used to govern the number of terms that
    will be used for obtaining the approximate value of exp.

    Yep, that's exponential alright... so what's the problem? We can't just write the program for you...

    Code:
    int i, x, n;
    printf( "Enter...." );
    scanf( "%d %d", &x, &n );
    for ( i = 0 ; i < n ; i++ ) {
        // your turn
    }
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
