View source for Greedy algorithm for Egyptian fractions

{{task}}

An &nbsp; [[wp:Egyptian fraction|<u>Egyptian fraction</u>]] &nbsp; is the sum of distinct unit fractions such as: 

:::: <big><big> <math> \tfrac{1}{2} + \tfrac{1}{3} + \tfrac{1}{16} \,(= \tfrac{43}{48})</math> </big></big>

Each fraction in the expression has a numerator equal to &nbsp; '''1''' &nbsp; (unity) &nbsp; and a denominator that is a positive integer, &nbsp; and all the denominators are distinct &nbsp; (i.e., no repetitions).  

Fibonacci's &nbsp; [[wp:Greedy algorithm for Egyptian fractions|<u>Greedy algorithm for Egyptian fractions</u>]] &nbsp; expands the fraction &nbsp; <big> <math> \tfrac{x}{y} </math> </big> &nbsp; to be represented by repeatedly performing the replacement

:::: <big> <math> \frac{x}{y} = \frac{1}{\lceil y/x\rceil} + \frac{(-y)\!\!\!\!\mod x}{y\lceil y/x\rceil} </math> </big>


(simplifying the 2<sup>nd</sup> term in this replacement as necessary, and where &nbsp; <big> <math> \lceil x \rceil </math> </big> &nbsp; is the &nbsp; ''ceiling'' &nbsp; function).

<!--
This Rosetta Code task will be using the Fibonacci greedy algorithm for computing Egyptian fractions; however, if different method is used instead, please note which method is being employed. &nbsp; Having all the programming examples use the Fibonacci greedy algorithm will make for easier comparison and compatible results. 
-->

For this task, &nbsp; [[wp:Fraction (mathematics)#Simple.2C_common.2C_or_vulgar_fractions|<u>Proper and improper fractions</u>]] &nbsp; must be able to be expressed.


Proper &nbsp;fractions &nbsp; are of the form &nbsp; <big> <math>\tfrac{a}{b}</math> </big> &nbsp; where &nbsp; <big> <math>a</math> </big> &nbsp; and &nbsp; <big> <math>b</math> </big> &nbsp; are positive integers, such that &nbsp; <big> <math>a < b</math></big>, &nbsp; &nbsp; and 

improper fractions are of the form &nbsp; <big> <math>\tfrac{a}{b}</math> </big> &nbsp; where &nbsp; <big> <math>a</math> </big> &nbsp; and &nbsp; <big> <math>b</math> </big> &nbsp; are positive integers, such that &nbsp; <big> <span style="font-family:times">''a'' ≥ ''b''</span></big>. 


(See the [[#REXX|REXX programming example]] to view one method of expressing the whole number part of an improper fraction.)

For improper fractions, the integer part of any improper fraction should be first isolated and shown preceding the Egyptian unit fractions, and be surrounded by square brackets <tt>[''n'']</tt>.


;Task requirements:
* &nbsp; show the Egyptian fractions for: <math> \tfrac{43}{48} </math> and <math> \tfrac{5}{121} </math> and <math> \tfrac{2014}{59} </math>
* &nbsp; for all proper fractions, &nbsp; <big> <math>\tfrac{a}{b}</math> </big> &nbsp; where &nbsp; <big> <math>a</math> </big> &nbsp; and &nbsp; <big> <math>b</math> </big> &nbsp; are positive one-or two-digit (decimal) integers, find and show an Egyptian fraction that has:
::* &nbsp; the largest number of terms,
::* &nbsp; the largest denominator.
* &nbsp; for all one-, two-, and three-digit integers, &nbsp; find and show (as above). &nbsp; &nbsp; {extra credit}

===Composition of pure functions===
The derivation of a sequence of unit fractions from a single fraction is a classic case of an anamorphism or '''unfold''' abstraction – dual to a fold or catamorphism. Rather than reducing, collapsing or summarizing a structure '''to''' a single value, it builds a structure '''from''' a single value. 

See the '''unfoldr''' function below:

Because the harmonic series diverges (albeit very slowly), it is possible to write even improper fractions as a sum of distinct unit fractions.  Here is a code to do that:

<syntaxhighlight lang="raku" line>role Egyptian {
    method gist { join ' + ', map {"1/$_"}, self.list }
    method list {
	my $sum = 0;
	gather for 2 .. * {
	    last if $sum == self;
	    $sum += 1 / .take unless $sum + 1 / $_ > self;
	}
    }
}
 
say 5/4 but Egyptian;</syntaxhighlight>
{{out}}
<pre>1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + 1/6</pre>

The list of terms grows exponentially with the value of the fraction, though.
