Math::NumSeq::Squares -- perfect squares
use Math::NumSeq::Squares; my $seq = Math::NumSeq::Squares->new; my ($i, $value) = $seq->next;
The sequence of squares i**2,
0, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, ...
See "FUNCTIONS" in Math::NumSeq for behaviour common to all sequence classes.
$seq = Math::NumSeq::Squares->new ()
Create and return a new sequence object.
$seq->seek_to_i($i)
Move the current sequence position to $i. The next call to next() will return $i and corresponding value.
$i
next()
$seq->seek_to_value($value)
Move the current sequence position so that next() will give $value on the next call, or if $value is not a square then the next square above $value.
$value
$value = $seq->ith($i)
Return $i * $i.
$i * $i
$bool = $seq->pred($value)
Return true if $value is a square, ie. k*k for some integer k.
$i = $seq->value_to_i_ceil($value)
$i = $seq->value_to_i_floor($value)
Return the square root of $value, rounded up or down to the next integer.
$i = $seq->value_to_i_estimate($value)
Return an estimate of the i corresponding to $value.
