Improved Program

The user might want to see the sum of the first 10 terms, for example:

1/1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 +  1/5 +  1/6 +  1/7 +  1/8 +  1/9 +  1/10 

Here is the program again, with new blanks for the improvements.

Now the number of terms to sum up is entered by the user.

import java.util.Scanner ;

public class HarmonicTester
{
  public static void main ( String[] args ) 
  {
    Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
    System.out.print("How many Terms? ");
    int limit = scan.nextInt();
 
    int term=1 ;
    double sum = 0.0;
    
    while ( term <=  )
    {
      sum += 1.0/term;           // add the next term to sum
      term++ ;                   // increment term
    }
 
    System.out.println("Sum of " + limit + " terms:" + sum );
  }
}
