我正在尝试对正向递减浮点的排序数组求和。我已经看到,总结它们的最佳方法是开始将数字从最低到最高加起来。我写这个代码的例子是,但是,从最高数字开始的总和更精确。为什么? (当然,总和1 / k ^ 2应为f = 1.644934066848226)。
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
int main() {
double sum = 0;
int n;
int e = 0;
double r = 0;
double f = 1.644934066848226;
double x, y, c, b;
double sum2 = 0;
printf("introduce n\n");
scanf("%d", &n);
double terms[n];
y = 1;
while (e < n) {
x = 1 / ((y) * (y));
terms[e] = x;
sum = sum + x;
y++;
e++;
}
y = y - 1;
e = e - 1;
while (e != -1) {
b = 1 / ((y) * (y));
sum2 = sum2 + b;
e--;
y--;
}
printf("sum from biggest to smallest is %.16f\n", sum);
printf("and its error %.16f\n", f - sum);
printf("sum from smallest to biggest is %.16f\n", sum2);
printf("and its error %.16f\n", f - sum2);
return 0;
}
