- \$\begingroup\$ No. As long as you have the semicolons, it's fine. \$\endgroup\$beary605– beary6052012-06-18 20:30:07 +00:00Commented Jun 18, 2012 at 20:30
- \$\begingroup\$ Hm, getting the right answers, having trouble knowing when the fraction is rational to stop. Is it really as simple as when a<sub>0</sub> is double the sqrt of the original input? \$\endgroup\$JoeFish– JoeFish2012-06-21 18:28:50 +00:00Commented Jun 21, 2012 at 18:28
- \$\begingroup\$ Yep, that's the limit. \$\endgroup\$beary605– beary6052012-06-22 05:27:50 +00:00Commented Jun 22, 2012 at 5:27
- \$\begingroup\$ @beary605 thanks. Been doing a lot more reading, and now I see that the continued fraction of a square root is a bit of a special case. Fascinating stuff! Still working on a non-floating point version. \$\endgroup\$JoeFish– JoeFish2012-06-22 12:35:17 +00:00Commented Jun 22, 2012 at 12:35

How to Format
- create code fences with backticks ` or tildes ~ ```
like so
``` - add language identifier to highlight code ```python
def function(foo):
print(foo)
``` - put returns between paragraphs
- for linebreak add 2 spaces at end
- _italic_ or **bold**
- indent code by 4 spaces
- backtick escapes
`like _so_` - quote by placing > at start of line
- to make links (use https whenever possible) <https://example.com>[example](https://example.com)<a href="https://example.com">example</a>

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. code-golf), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
