6 Math::NumSeq::SqrtDigits -- the digits of a square root

9 use Math::NumSeq::SqrtDigits;
10 my $seq = Math::NumSeq::SqrtDigits->new (sqrt => 7);
11 my ($i, $value) = $seq->next;
12
14 The sequence of digits which are the square root of a given radicand.
15 For example sqrt(2) in decimal 1, 4, 1, 4, 2, 1, etc, being 1.41421
16 etc.
17
18 The default is decimal, or a "radix" can be given. In the current code
19 "Math::BigInt" is used. (For radix 2, 8 and 10 the specific digit
20 conversion methods in BigInt are used, which might be faster than the
21 general case.)
22
24 See "FUNCTIONS" in Math::NumSeq for behaviour common to all sequence
25 classes.
26
27 "$seq = Math::NumSeq::SqrtDigits->new (sqrt => $s)"
28 "$seq = Math::NumSeq::SqrtDigits->new (sqrt => $s, radix => $r)"
29 Create and return a new sequence object giving the digits of
30 "sqrt($s)".
31
32 "$bool = $seq->pred($value)"
33 Return true if $value might occurs as a digit in the square root.
34
35 Currently this presumes all digits occur, so simply "$value >= 0"
36 and "$value < $radix". For a perfect square this might be wrong,
37 for a non-square do all digits in fact occur?
38
40 The current code requires "Math::BigInt" "bsqrt()", which may mean
41 BigInt 1.60 or higher (which comes with Perl 5.8.0 and up).
