# Fairshare between two and more

Add an extension showing the relative fairness correlation of this selection algorithm. An absolutely fair algorithm would have a correlation of 1 for each person (no person has an advantage or disadvantage due to an algorithmic artefact.) This algorithm is fair, and gets better the more iterations are done.

A lower correlation factor corresponds to an advantage, higher to a disadvantage, the closer to 1 it is, the fairer the algorithm. Absolute best possible advantage correlation is 0. Absolute worst is 2.

```perl
sub fairshare (\b) { ^∞ .hyper.map: { .polymod( b xx * ).sum % b } }

.say for <2 3 5 11>.map: { .fmt('%2d:') ~ .&fairshare[^25]».fmt('%2d').join: ', ' }

say "\nRelative fairness of this method. Scaled fairness correlation. The closer to 1.0 each person
is, the more fair the selection algorithm is. Gets better with more iterations.";

for <2 3 5 11 39> -> $people {
    print "\n$people people: \n";
    for $people * 1, $people * 10, $people * 1000 -> $iterations {
        my @fairness;
        fairshare($people)[^$iterations].kv.map: { @fairness[$^v % $people] += $^k }
        my $scale = @fairness.sum / @fairness;
        my @range = @fairness.map( { $_ / $scale } );
        printf "After round %4d: Best advantage: %-10.8g - Worst disadvantage: %-10.8g - Spread between best and worst: %-10.8g\n",
            $iterations/$people, @range.min, @range.max, @range.max - @range.min;
    }
}
```

#### Output:

```

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://trizen.gitbook.io/perl6-rosettacode/programming_tasks/f/fairshare_between_two_and_more.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
