🔒 Need help with a school question D:

[fervent elbow]

My code:
Sum=1
fact=0
n= int(input("enter your number"))
x= int(input("enter your number"))
for number in range (2,n+1,2):
fact=1
for j in range (1,number+1):
fact=fact*j
k= x**number
Sum+= k/fact
print(Sum)

Would this code work and is it efficient for the question "1+(x^2/2!)+(x^4/4!)+....+(x^n/n!)" where x and n are user inputted values

Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Formatting code on Discord

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

For long code samples, you can use our pastebin.

also, what is your code supposed to do?

hard to say if it will work or not without knowing what the intended effect is

Would this code work

is it efficient for the question "1+(x^2/2!)+(x^4/4!)+....+(x^n/n!)" where x and n are user inputted values

That's what I see

[fervent elbow]

fact=0
n= int(input("enter your number"))
x= int(input("enter your number"))
for number in range (2,n+1,2):
    fact=1
    for j in range (1,number+1):
        fact=fact*j
    k= x**number
    Sum+= k/fact
print(Sum)

sorry for messin' up

Hey @fervent elbow!

Please edit your message to use a code block

Add a py after the three backticks.

```py
print('Hello, world!')
```

This will result in the following:

print('Hello, world!')```

[fervent elbow]

this is the code

Sum=1
fact=0
n= int(input("enter your number"))
x= int(input("enter your number"))
for number in range (2,n+1,2):
    fact=1
    for j in range (1,number+1):
        fact=fact*j
    k= x**number
    Sum+= k/fact
print(Sum)

the code is supposed to give the output of the equation "1+(x^2/2!)+(x^4/4!)+....+(x^n/n!)" where x and n are user inputted values

Is it powers of 2?

2, 4, 6, 8, 10

2, 4, 8, 16
