i am trying to write a program that output the value of e (exponential) using an infintie series. with e^(x) and you set x equal to 1 you can find the value of e. the program uses 20 terms. i have everthing in the program ok, but i cant figure out how to set the equation in the program. can someone PLEASE help?? thank you
int n ;
// set double integers. e which is constant
// y, for the value of the equation, and x
// for the difference from e and y
double e, y, x;
// Display column titles
Console.WriteLine("Terms e error");
// begin number of terms at one
n=1;
//set e to constant value
e=2.718281828459045;
// forever loop while n is between 1 and 20
for(n=1; n<=20; n++)
{
------------------>>>>>>>>>>>>THIS IS THE POINT OF CONFUSION!!?!!
y = ??????????
// y equals e^(x) in infinite series equation
// set difference in equation from actual value of e
// known as 'error' in the program
x = e-y;
// Display values in the 3 columns
Console.WriteLine("{0} {1} {2}", n, y, x);
// increment n
