Description

There has been some reimplementation on here, so maybe this is no longer true, but ​this ask.sagemath post anyway points out 

sage: x = continued_fraction(pi)
sage: y = 3*x
TypeError: unsupported operand parent(s) for '*': 'Integer Ring' and '<class 'sage.rings.continued_fraction.ContinuedFraction_real'>'

See #19120

  • Milestone changed from sage-7.2 to sage-duplicate/invalid/wontfix
  • Status changed from new to needs_review

maybe we can close as duplicate ?

Why would you? #19120 does not implement the full gosper algorithm for (a xy + b x + cy + d) / (e xy + f x + g y + h) but only (ax + b) / (cx + d).

Though that could work for 3*x.

comment:6 Changed 10 months ago by chapoton

indeed. Y a un algo pour multiplier deux fractions continues quelconques ?
