qsqrt: Rational approximation of square roots

Description

Returns a rational approximation of the square root of an integer.

Usage

qsqrt(x, n)
qsqrt2(n)
qsqrt3(n)
qsqrtPhi(n)
# S3 method for qsqrt
print(x, ...)

Value

The qsqrt function returns a gmp rational number (class bigq) approximating the square root of

x. The qsqrt2, qsqrt3, and qsqrtPhi functions return a gmp rational number approximating the square root of

2, 3, and phi (the golden number) respectively. Their value converge more fastly than the value obtained with qsqrt.

Arguments

x

the positive integer whose square root is desired

n

a positive integer, the higher the better approximation
