NAME
Math::NumSeq::SqrtDigits -- the digits of a square root
SYNOPSIS
use Math::NumSeq::SqrtDigits;
my $seq = Math::NumSeq::SqrtDigits->new (sqrt => 7);
my ($i, $value) = $seq->next;
DESCRIPTION
The sequence of digits which are the square root of a given radicand. For example sqrt(2) in decimal 1, 4, 1, 4, 2, 1, etc, being 1.41421 etc.
The default is decimal, or a radix
can be given. In the current code Math::BigInt
is used. (For radix 2, 8 and 10 the specific digit conversion methods in BigInt are used, which might be faster than the general case.)
FUNCTIONS
See "FUNCTIONS" in Math::NumSeq for behaviour common to all sequence classes.
$seq = Math::NumSeq::SqrtDigits->new (sqrt => $s)
$seq = Math::NumSeq::SqrtDigits->new (sqrt => $s, radix => $r)
-
Create and return a new sequence object giving the digits of
sqrt($s)
. $bool = $seq->pred($value)
-
Return true if
$value
might occurs as a digit in the square root.Currently this presumes all digits occur, so simply
$value >= 0
and$value < $radix
. For a perfect square this might be wrong, for a non-square do all digits in fact occur?
BUGS
The current code requires Math::BigInt
bsqrt()
, which may mean BigInt 1.60 or higher (which comes with Perl 5.8.0 and up).
