Question:
I have to do a program on alternating sums using vectors. I am not sure how to start this program. I thought about using an array and every even index add the value and every odd index subtract the value. Does that sound right? Any ideas?

Jump to PostThe only good way to do this is to figure it out yourself. You've thought about using an "array," but didn't you just mention "vectors"? You might have correctly described your algorithm; now you just need to implement it.
Jump to Postwat exactly do u mean by alternating sums using vectors??
Jump to PostAn alternating series is one in which the sign flip-flops. For example,
4 + 4/3 + 4/5 + 4/7 + 4/9 + 4/11 + 4/13
is not an alternating series. But the following is:
4 - 4/3 + 4/5 - 4/7 + 4/9 - 4/11 + 4/13
