A divergent series is one that does not converge. This means the series (which by definition is the sum of the terms in a sequence) does not have a limit and is not finite. Neither do the individual terms of the series converge/tend to any particular value.
In this case you have a oscillating/alternating series, where the value alternates between 0 and 1.

The study of this is beyond H2 level, let alone H1.
