Program to find N-th term of series 0, 0, 2, 1, 4, 2, 6, 3, 8…in C++
In this problem, we are given a number N. Our task is to create a program to find N-th term of series 0, 0, 2, 1, 4, 2, 6, 3, 8…in C++.
Problem description
To find the Nth term of the given series−
0, 0, 2, 1, 4, 2, 6, 3, 8 .... N Terms
We will find the general term of the series.
Let’s take an example to understand the problem,
Input
N = 8
Output
3
Solution Approach
To find the general term of the series, we need to closely observe the series. This series is a bit difficult to recognize as it is a mixture of two series. One series at even positions and one series at odd positions.
Odd Series− 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12,....
Even Series− 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,....
Here,
If the nth term of the series is
Odd, the value is (n-1).
Even, the value is $T_{(n-1)}/2$
Example
#include
using namespace std;
int findNTerm(int N) {
if (N % 2 == 0)
return findNTerm(N-1)/2;
else {
return (N-1);
}
}
int main(){
int N = 13;
cout<<N<<"th term of the series is "<<findNTerm(N)<<endl;
}Output
13th term of the series is 12
