JugglerW 3.10

JugglerW is a useful tool that computes the largest known Juggler number.

Juggler Sequence defined in Dr. Clifford A. Pickovers book "Computers and the Imagination." This book has scores of educational and recreational experiments that can be done on a personal computer.
At the end of Appendix C in this book you will find:

". . . An award of 50 dollars is offered by the publisher for a printout of the largest Juggler number computed by readers. The award will be given on or about September, 1993, and the sequence will also be published in the Juggernaut. Currently, the largest juggler number computed is a 45,391-digit giant for the starting number 30817. It was computed by Harry J. Smith using his own software package to perform multiple precision integer arithmetic. His package is written in the object-oriented programming language Turbo Pascal 5.5 by Borland International, Inc. His juggler package is a subset of his super-precision calculator software which computes transcendental functions to thousands of decimal places. Write him to obtain the software: Harry J. Smith, 19628 Via Monte Drive, Saratoga, CA 95070. . . ."

Juggler Sequence also defined in Nov 1990 issue of Algorithm in PERSONAL PROGRAMS by Clifford A. Pickover.

Pickovers definition of a juggler sequence:


input positive integer, x
repeat
if x is even
then x <-- [x^(1/2)]
else x <-- [x^(3/2)]
until x=1All Borland C++ source files are included.
