Question

Design an algorithm/flowchart using Raptor to compute the following sum. Use x and n as input variables. 1+x+x² +x³+…⋯⋯+xⁿ⁻¹ +xⁿ Test your code using, x=3,n=5. Submit raptor files along with your report. Your report should include the screenshot of your flowchart including sample input and output.

Answer 1

This question is about creating a Raptor flowchart to compute a sum of the series using given input variables x and n. The algorithm can be implemented with a loop that continuously multiplies x by itself and adds the result to a sum variable, outputting the final sum.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of designing an algorithm or flowchart using Raptor to compute a sum of the series 1+x+x²+x³+…+xⁿ where 'x' and 'n' are input variables falls under Computers and Technology, particularly in the programming education category. To solve this, you can create a loop in Raptor that starts at 0 and iterates 'n' times. Each iteration multiplies 'x' by itself the number of times indicated by the current loop index, and this value is added to a sum variable.

Here's a step-by-step explanation using pseudocode which you can represent as a flowchart in Raptor:

• 
  
• Start
• 
  
• Input values x and n
• 
  
• Initialize sum to 0
• 
  
• For i = 0 to n
• 
  
• sum = sum + (x raised to the power of i)
• 
  
• End For
• 
  
• Output sum
• 
  
• End

When you test your code using x=3 and n=5, your algorithm should calculate 1 + 3 + 9 + 27 + 81 + 243, which equals 364.
