#!/usr/bin/env python ''' Created on 10 feb. 2012 @author: Julien Lengrand-Lambert DESCRIPTION: Solves problem 57 of Project Euler It is possible to show that the square root of two can be expressed as an infinite continued fraction. sqrt 2 = 1 + 1/(2 + 1/(2 + 1/(2 + ... ))) = 1.414213... By expanding this for the first four iterations, we get: 1 + 1/2 = 3/2 = 1.5 1 + 1/(2 + 1/2) = 7/5 = 1.4 1 + 1/(2 + 1/(2 + 1/2)) = 17/12 = 1.41666... 1 + 1/(2 + 1/(2 + 1/(2 + 1/2))) = 41/29 = 1.41379... The next three expansions are 99/70, 239/169, and 577/408, but the eighth expansion, 1393/985, is the first example where the number of digits in the numerator exceeds the number of digits in the denominator. In the first one-thousand expansions, how many fractions contain a numerator with more digits than denominator? ''' if __name__ == '__main__': print "plouf" #print "Answer : %d " % (last_ten())
