Compute the n<sup>th</sup> term of a <em>series</em>, i.e. the sum of the n first terms of the corresponding <em>sequence</em>. Informally this value, or its limit when n tends to infinity, is also called the sum of the series, thus the title of this task. For this task, use: $S_n = \displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^n \frac{1}{k^2}$.
Write a function that take $a$ and $b$ as parameters and returns the sum of $a^{th}$ to $b^{th}$ members of the sequence.
sum should be a function.
assert(typeof sum == 'function');
sum(1, 100) should return a number.
assert(typeof sum(1, 100) == 'number');
sum(1, 100) should return 1.6349839001848923.
assert.equal(sum(1, 100), 1.6349839001848923);
sum(33, 46) should return 0.009262256361481223.
assert.equal(sum(33, 46), 0.009262256361481223);
sum(21, 213) should return 0.044086990748706555.
assert.equal(sum(21, 213), 0.044086990748706555);
sum(11, 111) should return 0.08619778593108679.
assert.equal(sum(11, 111), 0.08619778593108679);
sum(1, 10) should return 1.5497677311665408.
assert.equal(sum(1, 10), 1.5497677311665408);

function sum(a, b) {
function fn(x) {
return 1 / (x * x);

var s = 0;
