#C6689. Geometric Series Sum
Geometric Series Sum
Geometric Series Sum
Given three integers a, r and n, calculate the sum of the first n terms of a geometric series. The series is defined as:
\(S = a + ar + ar^2 + \cdots + ar^{n-1}\)
If \(r \neq 1\), the sum can be computed using the formula:
\(S = a \times \frac{1-r^n}{1-r}\)
If \(r = 1\), the sum is simply \(S = a \times n\).
Your program should read the inputs from stdin and output the result to stdout.
inputFormat
The input consists of a single line containing three space-separated integers: a, r, and n, where:
a: the first term of the geometric series.
r: the common ratio.
n: the number of terms to sum.
outputFormat
Output a single integer representing the sum of the first n terms of the geometric series.## sample
