but you get a different hide with sum vs. cumsum. David is right if you want the sum of n terms. > sum(1/(1:100)^2) - pi^2/6 [1] -0.009950167 > sum(1/(1:1000)^2) - pi^2/6 [1] -0.0009995002 etc. > On Jul 24, 2015, at 7:24 PM, Janh Anni wrote: > > Wow! So many (simpler) ways to skin a cat. Th

Janh: It sounds like you really need to go through an R tutorial or two before posting further, as this is a pretty basic query. Or am I wrong about this? An answer: Just use indexing cumsum(1/seq_len(100)^2)[seq(10, to = 100,by = 10)] ## keeps every 10th [1] 1.549768 1.596163 1.612150 1.62024

Hello Jeff, Thanks a lot. I tried it and see that it prints out the entire 100 partial sums, so I can take the last value as the partial sum for the first 100 terms. Would there be any way cumsum can print only the nth partial sum, i.e. the last value in the array, instead of printing the entire

Please reply-all so the mailing list stays in the loop. cumsum(1/(1:100)^2) gives you the partial sums up through i=100. --- Jeff NewmillerThe . . Go Live... DCN:Basics: ##.#
