adicDigit -- compute a digit of the non-terminating expansion of a number in the unit interval in a given base

Synopsis

• Usage:

  d = adicDigit(p, e, x)

  D = adicDigit(p, e, L)

• Inputs:
  • p, an integer, greater than 1; the desired base
  • e, an integer, positive, which specifies which digit is desired
  • x, a rational number, in the interval [0,1]; the number whose digit is to be computed
  • L, a list, consisting of rational numbers in the interval [0,1] whose digits are to be computed
• Outputs:
  • d, an integer, the e^{th} digit of the base p expansion of x
  • D, a list, consisting of the e^{th} digits of the base p expansions of the elements of L

Description

i1 : adicDigit(5, 4, 1/3)

o1 = 3

i2 : adicDigit(5, 4, {1/3, 1/7, 2/3})

o2 = {3, 4, 1}

o2 : List
