It is uncommon, but not absolutely unheard-of, to need to do detailed mathematical calculations in interactive fiction.
The Fibonacci Sequence demonstrates the calculation of a series of numbers; Sieve of Eratosthenes shows off how to calculate the prime numbers within a certain range.
Number Study demonstrates conditional relations between numbers.
| Example The Fibonacci SequenceThe modest Leonardo Fibonacci of Pisa will be only too happy to construct his sequence on request, using an array. |
|
| Example Sieve of EratosthenesThe haughty Eratosthenes of Cyrene will nevertheless consent to sieve prime numbers on request. |
|
| Example Number StudyThe parity and joint magnitude relations explored. |
