Exact arithmetic, MATLAB Programming

Assignment Help:

Run the MATLAB script
sum = single(0); term = single(1);
n=1;
while sum + term > sum
sum = sum+term;
n=n+1;
term = 1/n;
end
n

Explain what you think it is trying to do. What would this code do in exact arithmetic?Describe why the code produces a nite result and (harder) describe the output. What would happen (don't try it!) if you replaced the fi rst line with sum=0; term=1;?
