Hi all, Is there a function in sympy which gives the continued fraction representation of quadratic irrationalities like, (sqrt(17) + 5 ) / 4?
I found an implementation of a continued fraction function in Shor's algorithm: http://docs.sympy.org/dev/modules/physics/quantum/shor.html But it doesn't seem to give correct results when irrationalities are involved. >>> from sympy.physics.quantum.shor import continued_fraction > >>> continued_fraction(sqrt(17)+5, 4) > [2, 4] > Actual answer should be 2, [3, 1, 1] with the numbers inside [] repeating forever. Any help would be appreciated. Regards, Thilina. . -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
