public static double HarmonicNumber(
	int n
)

Public Shared Function HarmonicNumber ( 
	n As Integer
) As Double

public:
static double HarmonicNumber(
	int n
)

static member HarmonicNumber : 
        n : int -> float 

Parameters

n

Type: SystemInt32
The index of the harmonic number to compute, which must be non-negative.

Return Value

H_n is the nth partial sum of the harmonic series.

Since the harmonic series diverges, H_n grows without bound as n increases, but it does so extremely slowly, approximately as log(n).
