None of the submissions have an a or b in their code, or deal in any way with quadratic real numbers <small>(not to/nor mention the stretch goal)</small>.
The referenced continued fraction convergents task needs clarification, or you could use the a' search.<br>
This task itself (probably) only needs minor clarification on how to find/use a'/convergents, for now we should stem the rot of further replication of the duff entries we already have (mea culpa). <br>

:The cf for ((sqrt(3)-1)/2) is [0;1,2,1,2..] and the sturmian word is apparently 010010010100100100101001001001... (from a ps file, I cannot verify that). Further, isn't 0.618033 the inverse golden ratio, which would be
:<code>01001010010010100101001001010010</code> whereas the golden ratio is actually 1.618033 which at least as I understand it should be<br>
:<code>10110101101101011010110110101101</code>? Gotta love it when someone dumps their homework here... [[User:Petelomax|Petelomax]] ([[User talk:Petelomax|talk]]) 06:51, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
::I've added a trivial cfck() to the Phix entry, but I'm not entirely convinced... --[[User:Petelomax|Petelomax]] ([[User talk:Petelomax|talk]]) 08:19, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
