Calculate the result and absolute error for each partial sum: N = 10, 160, and 640. You should use for-loops and not commands like symsum. (b) Find the smallest value of N for which the absolute error is smaller than 10−4 (1e − 4). You should use a w

My question is:
Calculate the result and absolute error for each partial sum: N = 10, 160, and 640. You should use for-loops and not commands like symsum.
was wondering if my code was missing something:
%(a) Calculate the result and absolute error for each partial sum: N = 10, 160, and 640.
sum=0;
for N=[10 160 640]
for n=1:1:N
y=1/n^2
end
sum=sum+1
error=((pi^2)/6)-sum
end
disp(sum)
