Sequence a_n =1/n

I'm a beginner in Matlab

Please could you help me with the following code:

I want to write a sequence s_n = 1/n where n=1,2...100 and plot the result.

I tried this, n=1

for i = 1:100

n= n+1

end

Sn= 1/n

But It only displays the last number for n=100 and divides

I have no idea how to do it and the results I found don't satisfy me.

Thank you

Use element-wise division:

n = 1:100;
format short
Seq = 1./n

producing:

Seq =
    1.0000    0.5000    0.3333    0.2500    0.2000    0.1667    0.1429    0.1250    0.1111 ...

alternatively:

format rat
Seq = 1./n

producing:

Seq =
       1              1/2            1/3            1/4            1/5            1/6  ...

Forgot to include the plot call.

Here it is:

figure
plot(Seq)
grid

This is the same as:

figure
plot((1:numel(Seq)), Seq)
grid
