C program that estimates the value of the math constant e

[SilviaJamieson]

Hi everyone, wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction for this problem I have looked at tutorials but I don’t understand why some have #include while others have #include and also I have never seen cin>> and <

Write a C program that estimates the value of the mathematical constant e by using the
following formula.

e= 1 + 1/(1!) + 1/(2!) + 1/(3!) +…1/(n!)

– The program should ask user to input the number of terms (n) to approximate value of e
– Then it calculates and displays the approximated value of constant e
– Compare the approximated value of e with the given mathematical constant
e = 2.7182818284590… and find the absolute [use fabs()] difference between the two

An example of input/output dialog is shown below:-

Enter number of terms (n) : 15
The approximated value of e : 2.718281828458
The given mathematical constant e = 2.718281828459
The absolute difference between the two value : 0.000000000001

Thanking you in advance, daisy……

cout and cin are input and output members of a stream object in the file iostream.h . This header file is associated with c++ programs and the method that most c++ programmers use for input and output. cout stands for “console output” and cin stands for console input. You can use them more easily than printf and scanf :

<br /> <br /> int i = 1;<br /> char c = 'd';<br /> .....<br /> <br /> cout &lt;&lt; &quot;the int is: &quot; &lt;&lt; i &lt;&lt; endl; //output : the int is: 1<br /> cout &lt;&lt; &quot;the char is&quot; &lt;&lt; c &lt;&lt; endl; // output : the char is d<br /> <br />

<br /> <br /> int i = 1;<br /> char c = 'd';<br /> .....<br /> <br /> cout &lt;&lt; &quot;the int is: &quot; &lt;&lt; i &lt;&lt; endl; //output : the int is: 1<br /> cout &lt;&lt; &quot;the char is&quot; &lt;&lt; c &lt;&lt; endl; // output : the char is d<br /> <br />

for the program , try:
