% Computes the value of a continued fraction of the form a0 ---------------------- b0 - a1 ----------------- b1 - a2 ------------ b2 - a3 ------- b3 The maximum accuracy depends on the size of a and b. tol is only used for early termination of the series. Since version 1. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: x = CFract( a, b, tol ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ a a array b b array tol Error tolerance ------- Outputs ------- x value of fraction -------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: Battin, R.
