#Sum of the first nth term of Series 

Your task is to write a function which returns the sum of following series upto nth term(parameter).

Series: 1 + 1/4 + 1/7 + 1/10 + 1/13 + 1/16 +...

Rules:

- You need to round the answer to 2 decimal places and return it as String.

- If the given value is 0 then it should return 0.00

- You will only be given Natural Numbers as arguments.

Examples:

SeriesSum(1) => 1 = "1.00"

SeriesSum(2) => 1 + 1/4 = "1.25"

SeriesSum(5) => 1 + 1/4 + 1/7 + 1/10 + 1/13 = "1.57"

public class NthSeries {
       public static String seriesSum(int n) {
            double result = 0;
            for(int i=0; i<n; i++)
                result += 1d/(1+i*3);
            return String.format("%.2f", result);
	   }
}
