Consider the following Matlab code, which was written to reproduce a telescoping series
Mo=-1;
Mn=0;
n=1;
while (Mn-Mo)>0.00001
Mo=Mn;
Mn=Mn+1/n*(n+1);
n=n+1;
end
The code, as it appears above, does not yield the desired result. Identify what is wrong with the code, correct it, and report the resulting sum to four significant figures

n = 10000 ;
thesum = 0 ;
for i = 1:n
thesum = thesum+1/(n*(n+1)) ;
end
