program that calculates how many terms it takes

2 次查看(过去 30 天)
So I'm supposed to write a program that calculates how many terms it takes for (1/1)+(1/2)+(1/3)+(1/4)...(1/n) shall be more than 4.
I can't use matlabs built-in functions (sum, sorting). Thank you!

When someone is in a course, and they feel they have no idea how to even get started on their homework, my advice is to go to the teacher as soon as possible and have a frank discussion about their situation.

What about my Answer to your previous Question on this exact topic did not work for you? See Never approached this kind of program before, need help..

Use a for loop or a while loop. If using a for loop, put an "if" test in there to see if it's more than 4 and then "break" if it is. If using a while loop, then the test for >4 is part of the while statement.
Don't use sum for a variable name - use something like theSum instead since sum() is a built in function
theSum = theSum + 1/...........
Good luck!
