Example 27: Evaluate Exponential Series

Problem

The exponential function $e^{x}$ is defined as the sum of the following series:

$1+x+(\frac{x^{2}}{2!})+(\frac{x^{3}}{3!})+(\frac{x^{4}}{4!})+....$

If $x$ is an input to a function, write a program to calculate the sum of the first ten terms of the series.

Example

Inputs	Outputs
-4	0.096719
0	1.000000
1.5	4.481686
3	20.079666
5	146.380615
