<h2><a name='sect2' href='#toc2'>Description</a></h2>This
|
|
command-line utility is optionally part of the <a href=
|
|
'mathomatic.1.html'><b>mathomatic</b>(1)</a> package. It finds
|
|
the minimum number of positive integers that when squared and
|
|
added together, equal the given number. There is a proof that no
|
|
more than 4 squares summed together are required to represent any
|
|
positive integer.
|
|
|
|
<p>The command-line may contain positive integers to find the
|
|
minimum squares of, they must be less than 2147483648 (2^31) on
|
|
32-bit systems or less than 9223372036854775808 (2^63) on 64-bit
|
|
systems. If "+" is appended to the given number, the program
|
|
counts up from the given number. If the minimum number of squares
|
|
is 2, this program displays all possible combinations with 2
|
|
squares for the given number, otherwise it just displays the
|
|
first combination it finds.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If no command-line arguments are given, the programs reads the
|
|
numbers from standard input.</p>
