Find the sum of series M/1 + (M+P)/2 + (M+2*P)/4 + (M+3*P)/8......up to infinite where M and P are positive integers.

Examples: 

Input : M = 0, P = 3; 
Output : 6

Input : M = 2, P = 9;
Output : 22

Method : 
S = M/1 + (M + P)/2 + (M + 2*P)/4 + (M + 3*P) / 8......up to infinite 
so the solution of this series will be like this
we are going to divide this series into two parts-
S = (M/1 + M/2 + M/4 + M/8......up to infinite) + ( p/2 + (2*p)/4 + (3*p)/8 + ....up to infinite) 
let us consider it
S = A + B ........eq(1) 
where, 
A = M/1 + M/2 + M/4 + M/8......up to infinite 
A = M*(1 + 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8....up to infinite) 
which is G.P of infinite terms with r = 1/2;
According to the formula of G.P sum of infinite terms \frac{a}{1-r}    for r < 1 and 
a is first term and r is common ratio so now, 
A = M * ( 1 / (1 - 1/2) ) 
A = 2 * M ; 

Now for B - 
B = ( p/2 + (2*p)/4 + (3*p)/8 + ....up to infinite) 
B = P/2 * ( 1 + 2*(1/2) + 3*(1/4) + ......up to infinite)
it is sum of AGP of infinite terms with a = 1, r = 1/2 and d = 1;
According to the formula \frac{a}{1-r}+\frac{dr}{(1-r)^{2}}    where a is first term, 
r is common ratio and d is common difference so now,
B = P/2 * ( 1 / (1-1/2) + (1*1/2) / (1-1/2)^2 ) 
B = P/2 * 4 
B = 2*P ;
put value of A and B in eq(1) 
S = 2(M + P)

    return 0;
