NAME

Math::NumSeq::FractionDigits -- the digits of a fraction p/q

SYNOPSIS

use Math::NumSeq::FractionDigits;
my $seq = Math::NumSeq::FractionDigits->new (fraction => '2/11');
my ($i, $value) = $seq->next;

DESCRIPTION

The sequence of digits which are a given fraction. For example 1/7 in decimal 1,4,2,8,5,7,1,4, etc, being 0.14285714...

The digits are always a repeating sequence of length no more than den-1. In fact for a given repeating sequence a,b,c,a,b,c,etc the fraction is abc/999, if you want to cook up a sequence like that. In a base other than decimal the "9" is radix-1, ie. the highest digit.

FUNCTIONS

See "FUNCTIONS" in Math::NumSeq for the behaviour common to all path classes.

$seq = Math::NumSeq::FractionDigits->new (fraction => $f)

$seq = Math::NumSeq::FractionDigits->new (fraction => $f, radix => $r)

Create and return a new sequence object giving the digits of $f. $f is a string "num/den", or a decimal "xx.yy",

2/29
1.5/3.25
29.125

The default is digits in decimal, or with the radix parameter in another base.
