Exercise 30 defines the number e and Exercise 31 shows how to approximate the value of e using a different expression. Interestingly, the value of e can be approximated using the following expression: 2+1/1+1/2+2/3+3/4+4/5+5…/(n-1)+(n-1)/n+n Write a program that uses this formula to approximate the value of e. Test your program for n = 3, 5, 10, 50, and 100.
