Calculate the function sin()

Question

For my studies, I have to code an algorithm to calculate sin() with this function:

Answer 1

There are two problems with your code:

1. sin(x+k*π/2) does not necessarily equal sin(x)
2. Your expression for the term is a little bit messed up. The instructions seem to suggest that you calculate the next term in the series from the previous term. Start with the value for i=0 and then use the equation in your question to compute the next term in each iteration.
