## Description
|
||||
|
||||
<section id='description'>
|
||||
For this task, the Stern-Brocot sequence is to be generated by an algorithm similar to that employed in generating the <a href="https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Fibonacci sequence" target="_blank">Fibonacci sequence</a>.
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>The first and second members of the sequence are both 1:</li>
|
||||
<ul><li>1, 1</li></ul>
|
||||
<li>Start by considering the second member of the sequence</li>
|
||||
<li>Sum the considered member of the sequence and its precedent, (1 + 1) = 2, and append it to the end of the
|
||||
sequence:</li>
|
||||
<ul><li>1, 1, 2</li></ul>
|
||||
<li>Append the considered member of the sequence to the end of the sequence:</li>
|
||||
<ul><li>1, 1, 2, 1</li></ul>
|
||||
<li>Consider the next member of the series, (the third member i.e. 2)</li>
|
||||
<li>GOTO 3 </li>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li></li>
|
||||
<li> ─── Expanding another loop we get: ───</li>
|
||||
<li></li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<li>Sum the considered member of the sequence and its precedent, (2 + 1) = 3, and append it to the end of the
|
||||
sequence:</li>
|
||||
<ul><li>1, 1, 2, 1, 3</li></ul>
|
||||
<li>Append the considered member of the sequence to the end of the sequence:</li>
|
||||
<ul><li>1, 1, 2, 1, 3, 2</li></ul>
|
||||
<li>Consider the next member of the series, (the fourth member i.e. 1)</li>
|
||||
</ol>
