need help for this small Q here, just hoping someone could write out a full c++ programme for the problem, with comments wherever nessecary, thanks!

Write a function to evaluate eX , using a series approximation (see below). Compare the output of your function with the library function exp(x). How many terms do you require so that the result is correct to 6 significant figures ? Use you program to find the number base of the natural logarithm
Hint : ex = 1 + x + x2/2! + x3/3! + ….. +xn/n!

And what do we get for doing your homework for you? Better question, what do you get besides an A on the assignment and no knowledge whatsoever.

Oh what the heck:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

int main()

#include <iostream>
#include <math>
using namespace std;
main ()

int x;
double sum, fact;
char ans;

do
{
cout << "Please enter the value x: ";
cin >> x;
cout << endl;
sum = fact = 1;

for (int n=1; n<=12; n++)
{

for (int i=0; i<n; i++)
{
fact = n*fact;
}

sum += (pow(x,n)/fact);

cout <<"n = "<<n<<" and sum = "<< sum << " and
exp("<<x<<") = "<<exp(x)<<endl;

}

take a look at that, my attempt at it, by using several tutorials etc., see what ive done correct/wrong, thanks!
