Partial Sums of Harmonic Series
  • Given an positive integer $n$, return the least positive integer $k$ such that the $k$th partial sum of the [harmonic series](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_series_(mathematics)) is greater than or equal to $n$. For example, if $n = 2$, then $k = 4$, because $1 + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{25}{12} > 2$.
  • # More Input/Output Examples
  • ```
  • Input -> Output
  • 1 -> 1
  • 3 -> 11
  • 4 -> 31
  • ```
  • This is code-golf, so shortest code wins.
