If he had some mental block that prevented him from figuring out this completely trivial question, then this answer should have provided him with all the pointers he needed.
Any further help you give OP will make him lazier and dumber.

Not OP here
But can't this be done with a for loop that starts at the smallest fraction and then works outwards and then adds +2 when it's done?

you just zoom in. 4chan has a gay 5000px limit

wat
>>53604385
I'm talking about the initial zoom if you display it at 100 %.

>identified the student by name, based on the hex data in his screen capture

my fucking sides

it's a bluff. otherwise he'd just say
>also i identified that it's _____ based on the hex data. do with that information whatever you want
Is this seriously what passes for a a difficult problem? Are you doing a "CS" major at a community college or something? This literally took me less than 2 minutes to figure out.n = input('OP how fucking stupid are you? Enter n:')
fraction = float(n + 1)
for i in reversed(range(1, int(n) + 1)):
fraction = i + i / fraction
result = 2 + 1 / fraction
print(result)
By the way, I didn't go to university. University isn't going to teach you not to be a retard. Study this code and figure out how it works or you are wasting your parent's money.
Bernie Sanders wants free college for retards like OP, btw. Trump 2016.
jquery has a plugin called jmath! you should try it!
this shit looks easy
Maybe after lunch I'll post something

this is supposed to be an exercise of your understanding of recursion, but since you didn't get any formal education in this subject you understandably used the most familiar approach that made sense to you.
this is the cliche fear among companies considering hiring people that never went to university - that you know a few tropes really well but were never forced to understand the more complicated stuff because the University of Hard Knocks doesn't force you to learn everything from A through Z; you just need to figure out how to make a few things work well enough to get by.
>>53604624
learn a functional language and learn recursion, you'll learn it in uni good luck
>>53604624
this doesnt even work in python 3.5.0 dude
what version are u using
>>53604638
>>53604649
Hello samefagn = input('LEL I DINT GO 2 UNI SO HOW COULD I UNDERSTAND RECURSION XD')
def college_is_for_faggots(i, n):
if i > n:
return 1
elif i == n:
return i + i / float(n + 1)
else:
return i + i / college_is_for_faggots(i + 1, n)
print(2 + 1 / college_is_for_faggots(1, n))
I'm too busy earning money in the marketplace solving real problems using the best possible solutions instead of playing with my dick tinkering on academic/hobbyist languages in school.
>>53604674
I'm using 2.7, but I'm sure it would work in 3.5 if you tweaked it slightly. They really aren't that different.
>>53604676
You're too busy earning money in the marketplace solving trivial problems using the easiest scripting language in stead of working on interesting things, good job anon
>>53604676
to be clear, you made this about university with your original post, like you had a huge chip on your shoulder. nothing about my post was aggressive or confrontational; you brought that emotional baggage with you.
chill out. also, don't make such stupid, hasty conclusions. if you get two posts that don't suck your dick, it's not a huge conspiracy or a ruse orchestrated by 1 person. Sometimes, 2 separate people are honest to go calling you out for not getting the point.

Butthurt schoolies get TOLD: The thread.
>>53604723
you either didn't read my post or didn't understand it, because i categorically shut you down on all points.
maybe if you're so riled up about how you didn't go to university you're just not seeing straight. i dunno. maybe you'll come back to this thread later calmed down and realize we were just offering help.
>>53604732
You said that it was supposed to be a "demonstration of recursion" which the question does not at all address, retard. I posted, initially, the BEST solution (most efficient, least terse) to the question posed.
Then you criticized that solution as if it were naive, so I then followed up with the less efficient, more verbose example of a recursive function that solves the problem. Now you are grasping at straws and attacking my tone because my logic and solutions are flawless.
Basically kill yourself, faggot.

Congratulations! You completed the first question to the first assignment of the first class you take at our university. We learnt it in the first week with no prior coding experience.
You're truly gods gift to the technology industry. Are you the next bill gates? I think so, anon.
>>53604772
You're gonna crash so hard
print((lambda reduce, n: 2+1/(reduce(lambda s, x: x+x/s, range(n-1,0,-1), n+n/(n+1))))(__import__("functools").reduce, int(input("Type in value for n:"))))
multiple lines are for fags
>>53603729
Do something along the lines ofif (input == 2)
print(2.7272727272727275);
else if (input == 3)
print(2.7169811320754715);
>>53604824
Yeah, I completed it in under two minutes, with two separate solutions. And you are sitting here talking down to me, even though I came up with the solution you could not.

I wasn't even the one who asked the question, I was actually the person who was going to help him.
It's literally the first question we're ever asked to attempt and you think you're some kind of PHD-level CS student cause you can complete it. Get over yourself.
Also your solution isn't 100% correct. I'd post mine but I don't want him copying it.
>>53605230
Actually my solution IS 100% correct, you are a dipshit.
>some kind of PHD-level CS student
A useless wanker?

Just port it to python3
def approximate(n):
e = n + 1
while n > 0:
e = n + n / e
n -= 1
e = 2 + 1 / e
return e
print(approximate(2))
Not sure where you guys get the idea that this has to be solved with recursion. Behold, my iterative solution.

>>53605781
What's your point?
>>53605799
only your mom thinks you are special
>>53605253
100% correct? You're taking n (a numerical value) as a string, leaving it as a string, and then comparing if an int is greater than it.
I can link you to some entry level python tutorials if you need help in this?
>>53605845
he probably used python2, where input would evaluate it as a python expression, so it would inf act give an int not a string
>>53605845
Maybe you need to read the tutorials yourself?
>>53605892
>>53605908
He clearly stated 3.5 in the OP
So it's not 100% correct after-all?
>>53605919
He said before he's using 2.7 (at least I think it was the same guy), and OP should tweak it for 3 himself.
>>53605919
The only difference is syntax. Are you dumb?
>>53603763
Not in python.
