Continued fraction/Arithmetic/Construct from rational number
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
To understand this task in context please see Continued fraction arithmetic
The purpose of this task is to write a function , or , which will output a continued fraction assuming:
- is the numerator
- is the denominator
The function should output its results one digit at a time each time it is called, in a manner sometimes described as lazy evaluation.
To achieve this it must determine: the integer part; and remainder part, of divided by . It then sets to and to the determined remainder part. It then outputs the determined integer part. It does this until is zero.
Demonstrate the function by outputing the continued fraction for:
- 1/2
- 3
- 23/8
- 13/11
- 22/7
- -151/77
should approach try ever closer rational approximations until boredom gets the better of you:
- 14142,10000
- 141421,100000
- 1414214,1000000
- 14142136,10000000
Try :
- 31,10
- 314,100
- 3142,1000
- 31428,10000
- 314285,100000
- 3142857,1000000
- 31428571,10000000
- 314285714,100000000
Observe how this rational number behaves differently to and convince yourself that, in the same way as may be represented as when an extra decimal place is required, may be represented as when an extra term is required.
C
C does not implement Lazy evaluation and it is this particular feature which is the real challenge of this particular example. It can however be simulated. The following example uses pointers. It seems that the same data is being passed but since the function accepts pointers, the variables are being changed. One other way to simulate laziness would be to use global variables. Then although it would seem that the same values are being passed even as constants, the job is actually getting done. In my view, that would be plain cheating.

Julia
<lang Julia># It's most appropriate to define a Julia iterable object for this task
- Julia doesn't have Python's yield, the closest to it is produce/consume calls with Julia tasks
- but for various reasons they don't work out for this task
- This solution works with two integers, a Julia rational or a real
type R2cf n1::Union{Int,Float64} # numerator or real n2::Int # denominator or 1 if real t1::Int # generated coefficient f::Float64 # aux. field for working with real inputs end
- constructors for all possible input types
R2cf(n::Union{Int,Float64})=R2cf(n,1,0,0.1) R2cf(n1::Int,n2::Int)=R2cf(n1,n2,0,0.1) R2cf(r::Rational{Int})=R2cf(num(r),den(r),0,0.1)
- methods to make our object iterable
Base.start(::R2cf)=nothing
- generates the next coefficient
function Base.next(cf::R2cf,s) if typeof(cf.n1)==Int cf.n1, (cf.t1, cf.n2) = cf.n2, divrem(cf.n1, cf.n2) else cf.t1,cf.f=divrem(cf.n1,1) if cf.f!=0.0 cf.n1=1/cf.f end end return (cf.t1,nothing) end
- returns true if we've prepared the continued fraction
function Base.done(cf::R2cf,s) if typeof(cf.n1)==Int return cf.n2==0 else return cf.f==0.0 end end
- tell Julia that this object always returns ints (all coeffs are integers)
Base.eltype(::Type{R2cf})=Int
- overload the default collect function so that we can collect the first maxiter coeffs of infinite continued fractions
- array slicing doesn't work as Julia crashes before the slicing due to our infinitely long array
function Base.collect(itr::R2cf,maxiter::Int) r=Array{Int,1}() # all results are ints i=1 for v=itr push!(r,v) i+=1 if i==maxiter break end end return r end
- test cases according to task description with outputs in comments

REXX
Programming notes:
- Increase numeric digits to a higher value to generate more terms.
- Two subroutines, sqrt and pi, were included here to demonstrate terms for √ 2 and pi.
- The subroutine $maxfact was included and is only needed if the number used for r2cf is a decimal fraction.
- Checks were included to verify that the arguments being passed to r2cf' are indeed numeric and also not zero.
- This version also handles negative numbers.
