Hi,
I wrote these commands in sage to have Euclidean algorithm but I only get an error.. what is the problem of this algorithm?
r=a%b
print (a,b,r)
while r != 0:
a=b; b=r
r=a%b
print (a,b,r)
by the way how can I create a file named euclid.sage and save the above command in it?
Hello,
First of all, your code works! The problem is that you need to specify a value to the variables a and b. The best way should be to put all that in a function as in the following
def euclide(a,b):
r=a%b
print (a,b,r)
while r != 0:
a=b; b=r
r=a%b
print (a,b,r)
Then you can do
sage: euclide(12,5)
(12, 5, 2)
(5, 2, 1)
(2, 1, 0)
To use an external file, it depends on how do you use Sage : in a console or with the notebook ?
