Thread: Help with looping etc THANKS ALOT IN ADVANCE

import io.*;
	public class count
	{	
	public static void main( String [] args)
	{
	double x;
	x=ConsoleInput.readDouble("Enter x value");
		for(int n=0;n<=10;n++)
		{
		eToTheX(x,n);
		}
	}
	public static void eToTheX(double x, int n)
	{
	double e=0, nFactorial = 1;	
		for(int i=2; i <=n; i++)
		{
		nFactorial *= (double)i;
		}
	e+=Math.pow(x,(double)n)/nFactorial;
	System.out.println("real ex  " + Math.exp(x) + "  calculated ex  " + e);
}
}

ok so my e+= isnt exactly working... it's just not adding e onto itself each time it displays 11 outputs like i want it to but they dont stack so for e.g. its just x^5/5! when i need x^0/0!+..+..x^5/5! so i need it to output 0,(0..+.. 1),(0+1+2),(0+1+2) thats first 4 results i need that up until its 8+9+10 etc which would be 11 results

so basically

You're creating a new e variable each time you call the function, so it's going to start over as zero each time.

You could return the value from that function, then increment another variable with it?
