NAME

Math::NumSeq::TotientSteps -- count of repeated totients to reach 1

SYNOPSIS

use Math::NumSeq::TotientSteps;
my $seq = Math::NumSeq::TotientSteps->new;
my ($i, $value) = $seq->next;

DESCRIPTION

How many repeated applications of the totient function to reach 1, so from i=1

0, 1, 2, 2, 3, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 3, 4, ...

For example i=5 goes 5 -> 4 -> 2 -> 1 so value=3 steps.

FUNCTIONS

See "FUNCTIONS" in Math::NumSeq for behaviour common to all sequence classes.

$seq = Math::NumSeq::TotientSteps->new ()

Create and return a new sequence object.

Random Access

$value = $seq->ith($i)

Return the count of totient(i) steps to get down to 1.

$value = $seq->pred($value)

Return true if $value occurs in the sequence, which simply means a count $value >= 0.
