print convergents of continued fraction
Calling Sequence
Parameters
Description
convergs(listA, listB, n)
listA
-
list of numbers, or a function
listB
(optional) list of numbers
n
(optional) integer
The convergs function takes the continued fraction
a1+b2(a2+b3(a3+b4(a4+...
and prints the successive convergents in the form n, nth convergent. The function convergs returns NULL.
listA is of the form [a1,a2,...] and similarly listB is of the form [1,b2,b3,...] where aI and bI correspond to the values in the displayed continued fraction.
If listB is of the form [1,1,1,...] convergs may be omitted.
If a third argument n is present, convergs indicates the number of convergents to compute.
