|
The blancmange curve is the set of points (x,y) such that 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 and ,where s(x) = the distance from x to the nearest integer.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The area under the blancmange curve is equal to ½, shown in pink in the diagram below.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Let C be the circle with centre (¼,½) and radius ¼, shown in black in the diagram.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
What area under the blancmange curve is enclosed by C?Give your answer rounded to eight decimal places in the form 0.abcdefgh

|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
assert.strictEqual(euler226(), 0.11316017);
|
