Cflength

-- Option variable: cflength Default value: 1

cflength controls the number of terms of the continued fraction the function cf will give, as the value cflength times the period. Thus the default is to give one period.

          (%i1) cflength: 1$
          (%i2) cf ((1 + sqrt(5))/2);
          (%o2)                    [1, 1, 1, 1, 2]
          (%i3) cflength: 2$
          (%i4) cf ((1 + sqrt(5))/2);
          (%o4)               [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2]
          (%i5) cflength: 3$
          (%i6) cf ((1 + sqrt(5))/2);
          (%o6)           [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2]

(%o1)                                true
