Question: Write a program to compute the value of the mathmatical constant e to the power of x ( ex ) and the number of terms

Write a program to compute the value of the mathmatical constant e to the power of x (ex) and the number of terms used to compute it using the following infinite series:
ex =1+ x/1!+ x2/2!+ x3/3!+ x4/4!+...
Your program should include at least one function called compute_ex which receives any value of x as a parameter and returns the following two values:
1) Value of ex for the given x.
2) The number of terms used in computing ex.
The computation should stop when the new term added ( term = Xn/n! where n=0,1,2,3,...) is less than 0.0001.
Your program should also NOT use the already predefined system function pow or use your own pow and factorial functions. You should solve the equation as a series and NOT by calling pow and factorial functions.
