Challenge: Calculating Sum of Geometric Progression

In the previous chapter, we discovered a formula to calculate the sum of elements of an arithmetic progression. There is also a formula for the sum of a geometric progression:

Let's discover the following real-life case: consider a scenario where a population of bacteria doubles every hour. The initial population is 100 bacteria. We might want to calculate the total population after a certain number of hours. This scenario can be modeled as a geometric progression, where each term represents the population at a specific hour, and the common ratio r is 2 (since the population doubles each hour).

Oppgave

Swipe to start coding

Calculate the sum of first n elements of geometric progression using both for loop and the formula described above.

  1. Specify the arguments of the formula.
  2. Specify parameters of for loop.

Once you've completed this task, click the button below the code to check your solution.
