    Problem Statement

    We need to write a program that prints the sum of a special series 1+x+x^2+……+x^n . Here x is a variable and n represents the power up to which the series will go. For instance, consider that a user inputs x = 5 and n=6.

    Input

    x=5
    n=6

    Output

    19531

    The x and n values entered as 5 and 6, respectively, will follow this pattern: 1 + 5+ 5 2 + 5 3 +  5 4 + 5 5 + 5 6 = 19531

    Solution

    Here are the steps that you need to follow to create a solution for the problem stated above:

    • Initialize a variable sum with an initial value of 1.
    • Ask the user to enter the values of x and n.
    • Create a loop from range 1 to n.
    • Inside the loop, add the value of x to the power n to the variable sum.

    C Program to Find the Sum of Series 1+x+x^2+……+x^n

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <math.h>
    
    int main()
    {	
    	int sum =1, x, n, i;
    	printf("Here we will calculate the sum of series 1+ x + x^2+ ...+ x^n \n");
    	printf("Enter the value of x: ");
    	scanf("%d", &x);
    	
    	printf("Enter the value of n: ");
    	scanf("%d", &n);
    	
    	for(i=1; i<=n;i++)
    	{
    		sum+=pow(x,i);
    	}
    	
    	printf("The sum of the series is: %d", sum);
    
    	return 0;
    }

    Output:

    Here we will calculate the sum of series 1+ x + x^2+ ...+ x^n
    Enter the value of x: 5
    Enter the value of n: 7
    The sum of the series is: 97656

    C++ Program to Find the Sum of Series 1+x+x^2+……+x^n

    #include<include>
    #include<math.h>
    using namespace std;
    int main()
    {
    	int sum=1,x,n,i; 
    	cout<<"Here we will calculate the sum of series 1+ x + x^2+ ...+ x^n \n"; 
    	
    	//input the value of x and n	
    	cout<<"Enter the value of x: "; cin>>x; 
    	cout<<"Enter the value of n: "; cin>>n; 	
    	
    	for(i=1;i<=n;i++)
    	{
    		sum += pow(x,i);
    	}
    	cout<<"The sum of the series is: "<<sum;
    	return 0; 
    }

    Output:

    Here we will calculate the sum of series 1 +x +x^2 +……+ x^n
    
    Enter the value of x: 5
    Enter the value of n: 7
    The sum of the series is: 97656

    Python Program to Find the Sum of Series 1+x+x^2+……+x^n

    import math
    sum=1
    print("Here we will calculate the sum of series 1 +x +x^2 +……+ x^n")
    x=int(input("Enter the value of x: "))
    n = int(input("Enter the value of n: "))
    for i in range(1,n+1):
        sum+=math.pow(x,i)
    print("The sum of the series is:", int(sum))

    Output:

    Here we will calculate the sum of series 1 +x +x^2 +……+ x^n
    
    Enter the value of x: 3
    Enter the value of n: 4
    The sum of the series is: 121

    Java Program to Find the Sum of Series 1+x+x^2+……+x^n

    import java.util.Scanner;
    import java.lang.Math;
    public class Main
    {
    	public static void main(String[] args) {
            
        	int sum = 1, x, n, i; 
        	Scanner sc = new Scanner (System.in);
        	System.out.println("We will calculate the sum of series 1+ x + x^2+ ...+ x^n \n"); 
        	
        	//input the value of x and n
        	System.out.println("Enter the valyue of x:");
        	x = sc.nextInt(); 
        	System.out.println("Enter the valyue of n:");
        	n = sc.nextInt(); 
        	
        	for(i=1;i<=n;i++)
        	{
        		sum += Math.pow(x,i);
        	}
        	System.out.println("The sum of the series is: " +sum);
    	}
    }

    Output

    We will calculate the sum of series 1+ x + x^2+ ...+ x^n 
    
    Enter the valyue of x:
    3
    Enter the valyue of n:
    4
    The sum of the series is: 121

    Wrapping Up

    In this programming tutorial, we discussed how to find the sum of series 1+x+x^2+……+x^n. We have written programs in C, C++, Python, and Java. To calculate the sum, we used the for loop . The time complexity of the above program is O(N), and the space complexity is constant.
