Program to find sum of 1 + x/2! + x^2/3! +…+x^n/(n+1)!

Given a number x and n, the task is to find the sum of the below series of x till n terms:

$1+\frac{x}{2!}+\frac{x^{2}}{3!}+..+\frac{x^{n}}{(n+1)!}$

Examples:

Input: x = 5, n = 2
Output: 7.67
Explanation:
    Sum of first two termed
    Input: x = 5, n = 4Output: 18.08Explanation:

Approach: Iterate the loop till the nth term, compute the formula in each iteration i.e.

nth term of the series =

Output:

Sum is: 18.0833

Time Complexity: O(n²)

Auxiliary Space: O(n), since n extra space has been taken.

Efficient approach: Time complexity for above algorithm is O( $n^{2}$ ) because for each sum iteration factorial is being calculated which is O(n). It can be observed that $i^{th}$ term of the series can be written as $S_i = (\frac{x}{i+1}) \cdot S_{i-1}$ , where $S_0 = 1$ . Now we can iterate over $i$ to calculate the sum.
Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to compute the series sum
double sum(int x, int n)
{
    double total = 1.0;
 
    // To store the value of S[i-1]
    double previous = 1.0;
 
    // Iterate over n to store sum in total
    for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++)
    {
 
        // Update previous with S[i]
        previous = (previous * x) / (i + 1);
        total = total + previous;
    }
    return total;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    // Get x and n
    int x = 5, n = 4;
     
    // Find and print the sum
    cout << "Sum is: " << sum(x, n);
 
    return 0;

        // Iterate over n to store sum in total
        for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
 
            // Update previous with S[i]
            previous = (previous * x) / (i + 1);
            total = total + previous;
