contfrac bug? |
You-know-who says: In[1]:= ContinuedFraction[Pi/2, 2] Out[1]= {1, 1} In[2]:= ContinuedFraction[Pi/2, 3] Out[2]= {1, 1, 1} In[3]:= ContinuedFraction[Pi/2, 4] Out[3]= {1, 1, 1, 3} Pari says: (16:26) gp > contfrac(Pi/2,,2) %14 = [1, 1] (16:26) gp > contfrac(Pi/2,,3) %15 = [1, 2] (16:26) gp > contfrac(Pi/2,,4) %16 = [1, 1, 1, 3] Both x86 2.2.6 and Alpha 2.2.7 (development CHANGES-1.855) (i.e. last night's nightly build) suffer from the above. (my x86 2.1.3 is even more bizarre, for reference).
