Help with this problem regarding loopings
Make a program that willl generate n number of items of this sequence given the value of n from keyboard input. The program prints the items of the sequence and its sum.
Algorithm:
the sequence:
1 1 1 3 5 9 17 .....
a. initialize the first three items ; t1=1, t2=1, t3=1 and S=3 ( sum of t1, t2 and t3).
b. the next item t4, in the sequence is determide from the sum of preceding 3 items:
t4=t1+t2+t3 and is also added to the sum, S of the sequence S = S+t4.
c. to generate the next items, t1, t2 ad t3 are reassigned as follows:
t1=t2; t2=t3 and t3=t4.
d. repear steps b and c until n numbers of items of the sequence is generated..
please do it using while loop, do-while loop and for loop.

what code have you written so far? this seems pretty straightforward, just create an array of the sequence and do something like this
what is your question exactly...?
