Hickerson series of almost integers
func h(n) {
n! / (2 * pow(2.log, n+1))
}
{ |n|
"h(%2d) = %22s is%s almost an integer.\n".printf(
n, var hn = h(n).round(-3), hn.to_s ~~ /\.[09]/ ? '' : ' NOT')
} << 1..17
Output:
h( 1) = 1.041 is almost an integer.
h( 2) = 3.003 is almost an integer.
h( 3) = 12.996 is almost an integer.
h( 4) = 74.999 is almost an integer.
h( 5) = 541.002 is almost an integer.
h( 6) = 4683.001 is almost an integer.
h( 7) = 47292.999 is almost an integer.
h( 8) = 545834.998 is almost an integer.
h( 9) = 7087261.002 is almost an integer.
h(10) = 102247563.005 is almost an integer.
h(11) = 1622632572.998 is almost an integer.
h(12) = 28091567594.982 is almost an integer.
h(13) = 526858348381.001 is almost an integer.
h(14) = 10641342970443.085 is almost an integer.
h(15) = 230283190977853.037 is almost an integer.
h(16) = 5315654681981354.513 is NOT almost an integer.
