The second
I’m thinking one could represent them as converging series perhaps, but finding the right series might be hard

@user that's good for symbolic math though
Like actual algebra and stuff
And that's what we need
user
user
But how do you make a quickly converging series for pi divided by sqrt2 or sth?
lyxal
lyxal
You don't need to
user
user
man i wish sympy had Scala api
@lyxal wait why bot
lyxal
lyxal
@user just pi / sqrt(2)
It'll store that as an exact expression

Wait I’m dumb
lyxal
lyxal
And you just get the approximation at printing time
user
user
I thought you replied to a different message
That makes more sense
Ye
lyxal
lyxal
That's how you best implement irrationals
By storing the exact expression and only approximating when necessary
Kinda like a lazily evaluated literal
user
user
Yeah
I should dig around in galileos and sympys internals and see how they work so we could maybe adapt it
Wonder if the licenses allow code inspired by their code tho
lyxal
lyxal
@user yes, but with a few conditions

@user Does this approach (returning a value of type Int | Unit) make any sense, or is that just horrible coding style?

I don’t think I’ve ever seen that, honestly
I wouldn’t call it horrible, but an Option would probably be preferred
(tbh the main reasons I’ve never seen that are a) union types are new and b) I’m not even a Scala programmer)
