ShanksBot-RS
A rust implementation of the ShanksBot shown by Matt Parker in this video. It counts the number of decimals of a reciprocal of a given prime* number before they start repeating (watch the video for more details).
*it is supposed to be used on prime numbers, but any positive integer will work.
How to use
You'll need to have a rust toolchain installed. If you don't need the source code you can simply run cargo install shanksbot-rs
. Then you can use it from the command line like shanks 60017
.
If you prefer running it straight from source code, clone the repository, cd
into the project directory and run cargo run -- 60017
. The result will be printed to stdout
.
What's the practical use of this?
There is none that I know of. It was just a fun little exercise. While watching the video.
