Number Sequence accuracy and testing

This page documents how Calwarden builds trust for this calculator: source notes, regression-style default tests, limitations, assumptions, unit handling, rounding, and visible change history.

Formula source

  • Formulas used: **Arithmetic:** * Nth Term (aₙ) = a₁ + (n-1)d * Sum (Sₙ) = (n/2) × (2a₁ + (n-1)d) **Geometric:** * Nth Term (aₙ) = a₁ × r^(n-1) * Sum (Sₙ) = a₁ × (1 - r^n) / (1 - r)

Test cases

Default input regression check

Generated from the checked-in default inputs and calculate function.

Inputs

  • Type: Arithmetic (+)
  • First Term (a1): 1
  • Common Diff/Ratio (d/r): 2
  • Term Number (n): 10

Expected outputs

  • Nth Term (an): 19
  • Sum (Sn): 100

Known limitations

  • This page documents the checked-in calculator logic and does not certify results for every real-world edge case.
  • Use the result as a planning estimate unless the calculator page states a stricter purpose.

Assumptions

  • The term number n should be a positive whole number.
  • Arithmetic mode uses an additive difference; geometric mode uses a multiplier.
  • The calculator returns the finite sum for the first n terms, not an infinite-series result.

Unit handling

  • Type accepts one of the configured options.
  • First Term (a1) accepts numeric values.
  • Common Diff/Ratio (d/r) accepts numeric values.
  • Term Number (n) accepts numeric values.

Rounding rules

  • Number displays use up to 2 decimal places in the calculator UI.
