I am trying to figure out how to write the summation of a function, $f(t)$, on an interval as mathematical notation. I can only think of the answer in terms of pseudocode, can anyone help me convert the following into mathematical notation?
x = f(0)
for (int i = 1; i <= 7; i++) {
x(i) = x + f(i);
}
Thanks!
edit: Sorry I asked this question wrong. I meant it to be written as each iteration denotes a new value. So, in the case of my problem f(t) is a function of time in days. I want the values to equal the following:
day0 = $f(0)$
day1 = $f(0) + f(1)$
day2 = $f(0) + f(1) + f(2)$
day3 = $f(0) + f(1) + f(2) + f(3)$
day4 = $f(0) + f(1) + f(2) + f(3) + f(4) $
day5 = $f(0) + f(1) + f(2) + f(3) + f(4) + f(5)$
day6 = $f(0) + f(1) + f(2) + f(3) + f(4) + f(5) + f(6)$
day7 = $f(0) + f(1) + f(2) + f(3) + f(4) + f(5) + f(6) + f(7)$
days 8 $\rightarrow \infty$ = $f(0) + f(1) + f(2) + f(3) + f(4) + f(5) + f(6) + f(7)$
Using a for-loop, you are summing up $f(0)$ up to $f(7)$. The pseudo-code is describing $$x=\sum_{i=0}^7 f(i)$$
Edit:
For the edited question:
$$day_i = \sum_{j=0}^{\min(i,7)} f(j)$$
