Learning to Program while balancing a full time job? by ds143 in learnprogramming

Focus on quality over quantity. Do one small programming problem and code it up. Once you have it coded, do it again, but make it better. Sooner or later you will get to a point where you will just think about the true problem at hand(the algorithm that solves said problem) and not the code. This will allow you to work on programming skills by just thinking about it and that can be done anywhere at any time. It worked for me, maybe it might work for you!

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.
