Question

In mathematics, the nth harmonic number is defined to be 1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + ... + 1/n. so, the first harmonic number is 1, the second is 1.5, the third is 1.83333... and so on. write an expression whose value is the 8th harmonic number.

Answer 1

(1.0 + 1.0/2.0 + 1.0/3.0 + 1.0/4.0 + 1.0/5.0 + 1.0/6.0 + 1.0/7.0 + 1.0/8.0)
