Continued is a simple library for representing and operating on numbers represented as continued fractions.
- Conversion from a plethora of representations to continued fractions
- int
- float
- decimal.Decimal
- fractions.Fraction and numbers.Rational
- Basic arithmetic: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division
- Popular irrational and transcendental identities, to arbitrary (infinite) precision
- e (Euler's number)
- (the Golden Ratio)
- Arbitrary-precision quadratic surds
Plenty.
- sqrt(2) * sqrt(2) goes into an infinite loop, as does any other operation with an arbitrary string of 0.
Some enhancements are planned.
- Surds should permit the form (a + sqrt(b))/c without an extra pair of combination generators.
- Trigonometric operators.
- Radix-based decoding.
Initial release.
