ok thank you.

SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION

THIS IS THE 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.


THIS IS WHAT I HAVE COME UP WITH SO FAR:

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
double sum=(


sum=1/(n+1)  [THIS IS WHERE I'M HAVING PROBLEMS IN I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S RIGHT OR NO BECAUSE WHEN I PUT IT IN IT COMES UP WITH ERRORS]


);
cout << sum << endl;
return 0;

}

i think it should be this:

sum+((float)1/i);

but when i inserted it it comes up with errors

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
  double sum=(


MIDDLE (I DON;T NO WHT DOES HERE)

  );
  cout << sum << endl;
  return 0;
}

PLEASE IGNORE THE QUESTION ABOVE I MISTAKLY PUTTED THAT INSTEAD OF THIS QUESTION

SORRI THIS IS THE RIGHT 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.
