Compute the n^th term of a series, i.e. the sum of the n first terms of the corresponding sequence.

Informally this value, or its limit when n tends to infinity, is also called the sum of the series, thus the title of this task.

For this task, use:

S_{n}=\sum _{k=1}^{n}{\frac {1}{k^{2}}}

and compute

S_{1000}

This approximates the zeta function for S=2, whose exact value

\zeta (2)={\pi ^{2} \over 6}

is the solution of the Basel problem.

ALGOL W

Uses Jensen's Device (first introduced in Algol 60) which uses call by name to allow a summation index and the expression to sum to be specified as parameters to a summation procedure.

begin % compute the sum of 1/k^2 for k = 1..1000 %
    integer k;
    % computes the sum of a series from lo to hi using Jensen's Device %
    real procedure sum  ( integer %name% k; integer value lo, hi; real procedure term );
    begin
        real temp;
        temp := 0;
        k := lo;
        while k <= hi do begin
            temp := temp + term;
            k := k + 1
        end while_k_le_temp;

    end;
    write( r_format := "A", r_w := 8, r_d := 5, sum( k, 1, 1000, 1 / ( k * k ) ) )

Real numbers on EDSAC were restricted to the range -1 <= x < 1. The posted solution cheats slightly by omitting the term with k = 1, while printing '1' before the decimal part. The first eight decimals of the output are correct; the last two should be 67 not 41.

In floating-point arithmetic, summing the smallest terms first is more accurate than summing the largest terms first, as can be seen e.g. in the Pascal solution. EDSAC used fixed-point arithmetic, so the order of summation makes no difference.

F#

The following function will do the task specified.

let rec f (x : float) = 
    match x with
        | 0. -> x
        | x -> (1. / (x * x)) + f (x - 1.)

In the interactive F# console, using the above gives:

> f 1000. ;;
val it : float = 1.643934567

However, this recursive function will run out of stack space eventually (try 100000). A tail-recursive implementation will not consume stack space and can therefore handle much larger ranges. Here is such a version:

#light
let sum_series (max : float) =
    let rec f (a:float, x : float) = 
        match x with
            | 0. -> a
            | x -> f ((1. / (x * x) + a), x - 1.)
    f (0., max)

[<EntryPoint>]
let main args =
    let (b, max) = System.Double.TryParse(args.[0])
    printfn "%A" (sum_series max)
    0

This block can be compiled using fsc --target exe filename.fs or used interactively without the main function.

For a much more elegant and FP style of solving this problem, use:

Seq.sum [for x in [1..1000] do 1./(x * x |> float)]

1000 [1,b] [ >float sq recip ] map-sum

Fōrmulæ

Fōrmulæ programs are not textual, visualization/edition of programs is done showing/manipulating structures but not text. Moreover, there can be multiple visual representations of the same program. Even though it is possible to have textual representation —i.e. XML, JSON— they are intended for storage and transfer purposes more than visualization and edition.

Programs in Fōrmulæ are created/edited online in its website.

In this page you can see and run the program(s) related to this task and their results. You can also change either the programs or the parameters they are called with, for experimentation, but remember that these programs were created with the main purpose of showing a clear solution of the task, and they generally lack any kind of validation.

Solution

In the following function, the first parameter is the series is provided as a lambda expression. The second parameter is the number of terms to calculate

Test case

The exact value (of the sum) is:

Note: The terse version requires some explanation. Icon expressions all return values or references if they succeed. As a result, it is possible to have expressions like these below:

   x := y := 0   # := is right associative so, y is assigned 0, then x
   1 < x < 99    # comparison operators are left associative so, 1 < x returns x (if it is greater than 1), then x < 99 returns 99 if the comparison succeeds
   (sum := 0)    # returns a reference to sum which can in turn be used with augmented assignment +:=

jq

The jq idiom for efficient computation of this kind of sum is to use "reduce", either directly or using a summation wrapper function.

Directly:

def s(n): reduce range(1; n+1) as $k (0; . + 1/($k * $k) );

s(1000)

Output:

1.6439345666815615

Using a generic summation wrapper function allows problems specified in "sigma" notation to be solved using syntax that closely resembles that notation:

def summation(s): reduce s as $k (0; . + $k);

summation( range(1; 1001) | (1/(. * .) ) )

An important point is that nothing is lost in efficiency using the declarative and quite elegant approach using "summation".

Mathematica/Wolfram Language

This is the straightforward solution of the task:

Sum[1/x^2, {x, 1, 1000}]

However this returns a quotient of two huge integers (namely the exact sum); to get a floating point approximation, use N:

N[Sum[1/x^2, {x, 1, 1000}]]

or better:

NSum[1/x^2, {x, 1, 1000}]

Which gives a higher or equal accuracy/precision. Alternatively, get Mathematica to do the whole calculation in floating point by using a floating point value in the formula:

Sum[1./x^2, {x, 1, 1000}]

Other ways include (exact, approximate,exact,approximate):

Total[Table[1/x^2, {x, 1, 1000}]]

Octave

Given a vector, the sum of all its elements is simply sum(vector); a range can be generated through the range notation: sum(1:1000) computes the sum of all numbers from 1 to 1000. To compute the requested series, we can simply write:

sum(1 ./ [1:1000] .^ 2)

Racket

A solution using Typed Racket:

#lang typed/racket

(: S : Natural -> Real)
(define (S n)
  (for/sum: : Real ([k : Natural (in-range 1 (+ n 1))])
    (/ 1.0 (* k k))))

Raku

(formerly Perl 6)

Works with: rakudo version 2016.04

In general, the $nth partial sum of a series whose terms are given by a unary function &f is

[+] map &f, 1 .. $n

So what's needed in this case is

say [+] map { 1 / $^n**2 }, 1 .. 1000;

Or, using the "hyper" metaoperator to vectorize, we can use a more "point free" style while keeping traditional precedence:

say [+] 1 «/« (1..1000) »**» 2;

Or we can use the X "cross" metaoperator, which is convenient even if one side or the other is a scalar. In this case, we demonstrate a scalar on either side:

say [+] 1 X/ (1..1000 X** 2);

Note that cross ops are parsed as list infix precedence rather than using the precedence of the base op as hypers do. Hence the difference in parenthesization.

With list comprehensions, you can write:

say [+] (1 / $_**2 for 1..1000);

That's fine for a single result, but if you're going to be evaluating the sequence multiple times, you don't want to be recalculating the sum each time, so it's more efficient to define the sequence as a constant to let the run-time automatically cache those values already calculated. In a lazy language like Raku, it's generally considered a stronger abstraction to write the correct infinite sequence, and then take the part of it you're interested in. Here we define an infinite sequence of partial sums (by adding a backslash into the reduction to make it look "triangular"), then take the 1000th term of that:

constant @x = [\+] 0, { 1 / ++(state $n) ** 2 } ... *;
say @x[1000];  # prints 1.64393456668156

Note that infinite constant sequences can be lazily generated in Raku, or this wouldn't work so well...

A cleaner style is to combine these approaches with a more FP look:

constant ζish = [\+] map -> \𝑖 { 1 / 𝑖**2 }, 1..*;
say ζish[1000];

Perhaps the cleanest way is to just define the zeta function and evaluate it for s=2, possibly using memoization:

use experimental :cached;
sub ζ($s) is cached { [\+] 1..* X** -$s }
say ζ(2)[1000];

Notice how the thus-defined zeta function returns a lazy list of approximated values, which is arguably the closest we can get from the mathematical definition.

Raven

0 1 1000 1 range each 1.0 swap dup * / +

Output:

1.64393

Raven uses a 32 bit float, so precision limits the accuracy of the result for large iterations.

Swift

func sumSeries(var n: Int) -> Double {
    var ret: Double = 0
    
    for i in 1...n {
        ret += (1 / pow(Double(i), 2))

Swift also allows extension to datatypes.  Here's similar code using an extension to Int.

extension Int {
    func SumSeries() -> Double {
        var ret: Double = 0
   
        for i in 1...self {
           ret += (1 / pow(Double(i), 2))
        }

        return ret
    }
}

var x: Int = 1000
var y: Double

y = x.sumSeries()   /* y = 1.64393456668156 */

Swift also allows you to do this:

y = 1000.sumSeries()

Tcl

Using Expansion Operator and mathop

Works with: Tcl version 8.5

package require Tcl 8.5
namespace path {::tcl::mathop ::tcl::} ;# Ease of access to mathop commands 
proc lsum_series {l} {+ {*}[lmap n $l {/ [** $n 2]}]} ;# an expr would be clearer, but this is a demonstration of mathop

# using range function defined below
lsum_series [range 1 1001] ;# ==> 1.6439345666815615

Using Loop

Works with: Tcl version 8.5

package require Tcl 8.5

proc partial_sum {func - start - stop} {
    for {set x $start; set sum 0} {$x <= $stop} {incr x} {
        set sum [expr {$sum + [apply $func $x]}]
    }
    return $sum
}

set S {x {expr {1.0 / $x**2}}}

partial_sum $S from 1 to 1000 ;# => 1.6439345666815615

Using tcllib

Library: Tcllib (Package: struct::list)

package require Tcl 8.5
package require struct::list

proc sum_of {lambda nums} {
    struct::list fold [struct::list map $nums [list apply $lambda]] 0 ::tcl::mathop::+
}

set S {x {expr {1.0 / $x**2}}}

sum_of $S [range 1 1001] ;# ==> 1.6439345666815615

The helper range procedure is:

# a range command akin to Python's
proc range args {
    foreach {start stop step} [switch -exact -- [llength $args] {
        1 {concat 0 $args 1}
        2 {concat   $args 1}

TXR

Reduce with + operator over a lazily generated list.

Variant A1: limit the list generation inside the gen operator.

txr -p '[reduce-left + (let ((i 0)) (gen (< i 1000) (/ 1.0 (* (inc i) i)))) 0]'
1.64393456668156

Variant A2: generate infinite list, but take only the first 1000 items using [list-expr 0..999].

txr -p '[reduce-left + [(let ((i 0)) (gen t (/ 1.0 (* (inc i) i)))) 0..999] 0]'
1.64393456668156

Variant B: generate lazy integer range, and pump it through a series of function with the help of the chain functional combinator and the op partial evaluation/binding operator.

txr -p '[[chain range (op mapcar (op / 1.0 (* @1 @1))) (op reduce-left + @1 0)] 1 1000]'
1.64393456668156

Variant C: unravel the chain in Variant B using straightforward nesting.

txr -p '[reduce-left + (mapcar (op / 1.0 (* @1 @1)) (range 1 1000)) 0]'
1.64393456668156

Variant D: bring Variant B's inverse square calculation into the fold, eliminating mapcar. Final answer.

txr -p '[reduce-left (op + @1 (/ 1.0 (* @2 @2))) (range 1 1000) 0]'
