Algorithm On Finding Sum of A Series

The document discusses finding the sum of a geometric progression series. It defines what a number series is and provides examples of arithmetic, geometric and harmonic progressions. It presents the problem of finding the sum of the geometric progression series 1,2,2,3,3,3,4,4,4,4... up to a user input number n. An algorithm and flowchart are provided that initialize sum and i, iteratively calculate each term and add it to the sum, and print the final sum once i exceeds n.

Concept of a Number Series

A mathematical series is the sum for all the numbers


arranged in a specific sequence where a sequence is an
ordered list of numbers arranged in a particular way.

There are many types of mathematical series. Some of the


common series are:-
Arithmetic Progression Series
Geometric Progression Series
Harmonic Progression Series

Problem Statement for this Assignment
To solve this problem, we have chosen the following
G.P. series :- 1,2,2,3,3,3,4,4,4,4…….n

Here, n is an user input and must be a positive integer


number.

Now, if n = 5, then
The series will be: 1,2,2,3,3,3,4,4,4,4,5,5,5,5,5
Thus, the sum of the series will be:
1+2+2+3+3+3+4+4+4+4+5+5+5+5+5 = 55

Algorithm

1. START
2. Declare variable n, sum and i
3. Read the value of n
4. Assign sum = 0 and i = 1
5. sum = sum + (i*i)
6. i = i+1
7. If (i<=n), return to step no. 5
8. Print sum
9. STOP

Flowchart
START

Declare variables n, sum and i

Read n

sum=0, i=1

sum=sum+(i*i)

i=i+1

Is i<=n Y

N
print sum

STOP
