Hi everyone,

Im newbie in programming.

and im trying to code this. IMAGE

 i = 7 
while i<100:
    i = i+(1/i)
print(i)

is that correct?

Does it work?

Your loop will never end because you never change the value of i within the loop.

Once you get it to run, compare the result to what it should be. It's probably out by 7.. and a bit (what about i = 100?).

Well,yes it never ended. Therefore needed to add a second variable.

 a = 0
i = 7
while i <=100:
    a = a + (1/i)
    i = i + 1
print(a)

and also for `for loop`

 a = 0
for i in range(7,101):
    a = a + (1/i)
print(a)
