3.10: for Loop Incremental Development Exercise

Exercise \(\PageIndex{1}\) for Loop Incremental Development Exercise

Write a for loop that does the following.

Start with any existing for loop, preferably one that sums a series, such as the one in section 3.8.

Test you code after you code each step in the process.

1. Opens a figure for plotting.
2. Sets the number of terms in the series to be n = 20
3. Initializes series_sum = 0; % (Do not name the variable "sum", becuz that is a built-in MATLAB function.)
4. Creates a for loop with index k = 1:n
5. Computes termk = 3/(k^2)
6. Adds termk to series_sum, and stores the result back into the series_sum variable.
7. For each value of k, plots termk with the '*' marker.
8. For each value of k, plots series_sum with the 's' marker.
9. After the for loop, display the final values of termk and series_sum.
10. Adds a title to the plot.
