Answer

$\Rightarrow S_{1}=-1$ $\Rightarrow S_{2}=0$ $\Rightarrow S_{3}=-1$ $\Rightarrow S_{4}=0$ $\Rightarrow S_{5}=-1$ $\Rightarrow S_{6}=0$

Work Step by Step

$S_{1}=-1$ $\Rightarrow S_{2}=S_{1}+1=0$ $\Rightarrow S_{3}=S_{2}+\left( -1\right) =-1$ $\Rightarrow S_{4}=S_{3}+1=0$ $\Rightarrow S_{5}=S_{4}+\left( -1\right) =-1$ $\Rightarrow S_{6}=S_{5}+1=0$
