// Example: For demonstration, let's just return 1.0 for all k.
// In a real scenario, this could be:
// - a value from a lookup table (e.g., if a_k is stored in a Vec)
// - a result of a mathematical formula (e.g., k! or 1/k)
// - a coefficient of a specific series (e.g., Fourier series, Taylor series)

// Define the summation range.

// Initialize the sum.

// --- Example demonstrating how get_a_k might be replaced ---
// If a_k values were stored in a vector for a specific range:
// let a_values_lookup: Vec<f64> = vec![
// /* a_k for k=-1000 */ 1.0,
// /* a_k for k=-999 */ 0.9,
// // ... hundreds of values ...
// /* a_k for k=0 */ 5.0,
// // ... hundreds of values ...
// /* a_k for k=1000 */ 0.1,
// ];
//
// fn get_a_k_from_vec(k: i32, start_k_of_vec: i32, lookup_vec: &[f64]) -> f64 {
// let index = (k - start_k_of_vec) as usize;
// if index < lookup_vec.len() {
// lookup_vec[index]
// } else {
// // Handle out of bounds or default value
// 0.0
// }
// }
//
// // Then in main, you would call:
// // let a_k = get_a_k_from_vec(k, k_start, &a_values_lookup);
