Question

What is the difference between Sequence & Series?

Answer 1

Difference between Sequence & Series:-

Sequence:-

• Sequence relates to the organization of the terms in a particular order and series is the summation of the elements of a sequence
• In sequence, the ordering of elements is the most important
• The elements in the sequence follows a specific pattern
• Example:-1,2,4,6,8.....n are said to be in a specific and 1+2+4+6+8.....n is said to be in a series

Series:-

• Series can also be classified as a finite and infinite series
• In series, the order of elements does not matter
• The series is the sum of elements in the sequence
• Example:-A finite series can be represented as m1+m2+m3+m4+m5......mn
