Ok so I am learning C++ and I suck.

Trying to add 1/1 + 1/2 + ... + 1/99 + 1/100

The problem is I can't get the denominator to increase as I attempt to add them.
Anyone care to point out my most likely obvious mistake?

This is what I have

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void main ()
    {
    const long MaxNum (100);
    double i;
    double Sum;
    double x;
    for (x = 1, i = 1/1, Sum = 0; x <= MaxNum; x++)
      Sum += i;
    cout << "Sum is " << Sum << endl;
}

>>4



Sum = 0;

x = 1;

for (;;)

{

 Sum += 1/x;

 x++;

 if (x > MaxNum)

   break;

}

ENTERPRISE QUALITY READABILITY
