Simple maths problem.

an is defined as 1 + (1/n).

Sn is defined as a1 + a2 + ... + an.

So we're gonna calculate S15, and we're gonna use object-oriented programming because I'm me.

use v5.16; package Local::App { use Zydeco; use List::Util 'sum'; class Calc { method a ( PositiveInt $n ) = 1 + (1/$n); method S ( PositiveInt $n ) = sum( map $self->a($_), 1 .. $n ) +; } } my $calc = Local::App->new_calc; say $calc->S(15);

Or, using rational numbers:

use v5.16; package Local::App { use Zydeco; use List::Util 'sum'; class Calc { method r ( $n ) = 1/$n; method a ( PositiveInt $n ) = 1 + $self->r($n); method S ( PositiveInt $n ) = sum( map $self->a($_), 1 .. $n ) +; class +Rational { use Math::BigRat; method r ( $n ) = Math::BigRat->new("1/$n"); } } } my $calc = Local::App->new_calc_rational; say $calc->S(15);

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
