reciprocals

[curiousEngine]

program to print out a list of reciprocal sums for every integer up to
and including the input value i.e. print out the sum of the
reciprocals of the integers up to and including 1, up to and including
2, up to and including 3 etc.,etc.

I don't understand the problem.
for eg. the number 4 is entered.
which sums should be computed?

How should we know? Ask your instructor.

Taken literally, it would involve sums like this

1/4 + 1/3 + 1/2 +1/1 + 1/0 + 1/(-1) + 1/(-2) + ...

which does not make much sense. Presumably, are meant to print the numbers

1/1
1/1 + 1/2
1/1 + 1/2 + 1/3
1/1 + 1/2 + 1/3 +1/4

(1/1) + (1/2) + (1/3) + (1/4) ... + (1/n)

I think

Hope that helps

And what was your C++ language question? If you don't understand the
statement of your homework assignment, the person to ask is your
instructor, not a bunch of people elsewhere.

If you do not understand the assignment ask your teacher.
