Description
Twilight Sparkle was playing Ludo with her friends Rainbow Dash, Apple Jack and Flutter Shy. But she kept losing. Having
returned to the castle, Twilight Sparkle became interested in the dice that were used in the game.
The dice has m faces: the first face of the dice contains a dot, the second one contains two dots, and so on, the m-th face
contains m dots. Twilight Sparkle is sure that when the dice is tossed, each face appears with probability . Also she knows that
each toss is independent from others. Help her to calculate the expected maximum number of dots she could get after tossing
the dice n times.
A single line contains two integers m and n (1 ≤ m, n ≤ 105).
Output a single real number corresponding to the expected maximum. The answer will be considered correct if its relative or
absolute error doesn't exceed 10 - 4.
题意:有一个骰子,它有m个面,第一面有1个点,第二面有2个点......第m个面有m个点,总共投掷n次,每投掷完n次就会出现这n次每个骰子出现的数中最大的数,求最大数的期望,由样例可得结果保留12位小数。【例如第3个样例:一个两面的骰子,投掷两次,投掷完两次总共会出现4种情况:1,1;1,2;2,1;2,2。4种情况出现的最大数:1,2,2,2。每种情况的概率是0.25,则最大数的期望就是:(1+2+2+2)*0.25=3.5。】
思路:由题可得出一个规律,即出现m的次数=m^n-(m-1)^n,A=1~m的每个数*每个数出现的次数,B=每种情况出现的概率即m^n,最大数的期望=A/B。上式可化简为:最大数的期望=m-(1/m)^n-(2/m)^n-......-((m-1)/m)^n。

Consider the third test example. If you've made two tosses:
- You can get 1 in the first toss, and 2 in the second. Maximum equals to 2.
- You can get 1 in the first toss, and 1 in the second. Maximum equals to 1.
- You can get 2 in the first toss, and 1 in the second. Maximum equals to 2.
- You can get 2 in the first toss, and 2 in the second. Maximum equals to 2.
The probability of each outcome is 0.25, that is expectation equals to:
