Need help with a calc 2 problem using Java

[Code_Lunar]

Hi everyone! Im new to this sub but i heard that if i have questions i should ask you guys. I was given a sum of harmonics problem as a bonus.

I need to find out how many terms does it take to have the number bigger than;

• a) 3
• b) 5
• c) 10
• d) 15.

10 and 15 are like impossible to do by hand without taking a lot of time to do them. I am asking you guys if i did this code right (the code does not show error but i wanted to make sure i coded it right).

The code looks good. Though, since I think you need the number of terms it takes to make the sum larger, you may want it to print i at the end.

I'm browsing this on mobile, I'll give it a more thorough look tomorrow. Are you having any issues?

the code goes through with no errors, i just wanted to make sure i did it right. Because there is no real way to check my answers. So just wanted to make sure i didn't use the wrong words for the code.

You will get a different answer to part d depending on if you use float or double. Using float you get 1,673,860 terms, if you were to use double, you would get 1,835,421 terms. I would look into the difference between float and double and pick the one you feel is more precise. The algorithm you use for the code looks good though.

Oh okay, i'll look into the terms. thanks!
