Let g0(x)=xg_0(x)=x for x∈[0,1)x\in[0,1), and for n≥0n\ge0 define

gn+1(x)=2gn(x)−⌊2gn(x)⌋g_{n+1}(x)=2g_n(x)-\lfloor2g_n(x)\rfloor

(that is, gn+1(x)g_{n+1}(x) is the fractional part of 2gn(x)2g_n(x)). For each n≥1n\ge1, let

un=∫01gn(x) dx.u_n=\int_0^1 g_n(x)\,dx.

Find the value of ∑n=1100un\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{100}u_n.
