NAME

Math::NumSeq::Cubes -- cubes i**3

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

The sequence of cubes i**3,

0, 1, 8, 27, 64, 125, ...

FUNCTIONS

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

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

Create and return a new sequence object.

Iterating

($i, $value) = $seq->next()

Return the next index and value in the sequence.

If $value overflows a usual Perl UV integer the return is promoted to Math::BigInt to preserve all bits.

$seq->seek_to_i($i)

Move the current sequence position to $i. The next call to next() will return $i and corresponding value.

$seq->seek_to_value($value)

Move the current sequence position so that next() will give $value on the next call, or if $value is not a cube then the next cube above $value.

Random Access

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

Return $i*$i*$i.

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

Return true if $value is a cube.

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

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

Return the cube root of $value, rounded up or down to the next integer.

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

Return an estimate of the i corresponding to $value.
