for loop to make a taylor series

I am trying to make a taylor series for e^x where

e^x = 1+(X/1!)+((X^2)/2!)+((X^3)/3!)+...

and the approximation is sum set n-1 over k=0 f(x)=(x^k)/k!

I know that the k = input('number of terms: '); and x = input('value of "x":');

I know that i can use the factorial(k) as a portion of the approxamation section of this script.

If you write it as:

e^x = x^0/0! + x^1/1! + x^2/2! + .... + x^n/n!

then you can see the pattern easier.

I don't want to do your homework for you, but look at this hint:

T = 0;  % Initial value of T.

for ii = 0:3
    T = T + ii;  % Easy to change this to meet your needs...
end

T  % Show new value of T.  Compare to 0+1+2+3
