Project Euler:Problem 64 Odd period square roots

All square roots are periodic when written as continued fractions and can be written in the form:

N = a0 +
1
 a1 +
1
  a2 +
1
   a3 + ...

For example, let us consider √23:

√23 = 4 + √23 — 4 = 4 + 
1
 = 4 + 
1
 
1
√23—4
 1 + 
√23 – 3
7

If we continue we would get the following expansion:

√23 = 4 +
1
 1 +
1
  3 +
1
   1 +
1
    8 + ...

The process can be summarised as follows:

a0 = 4, 
1
√23—4
 = 
√23+4
7
 = 1 + 
√23—3
7
a1 = 1, 
7
√23—3
 = 
7(√23+3)
14
 = 3 + 
√23—3
2
a2 = 3, 
2
√23—3
 = 
2(√23+3)
14
 = 1 + 
√23—4
7
a3 = 1, 
7
√23—4
 = 
7(√23+4)
7
 = 8 + √23—4
a4 = 8, 
1
√23—4
 = 
√23+4
7
 = 1 + 
√23—3
7
a5 = 1, 
7
√23—3
 = 
7(√23+3)
14
 = 3 + 
√23—3
2
a6 = 3, 
2
√23—3
 = 
2(√23+3)
14
 = 1 + 
√23—4
7
a7 = 1, 
7
√23—4
 = 
7(√23+4)
7
 = 8 + √23—4

It can be seen that the sequence is repeating. For conciseness, we use the notation √23 = [4;(1,3,1,8)], to indicate that the block (1,3,1,8) repeats indefinitely.

The first ten continued fraction representations of (irrational) square roots are:

√2=[1;(2)], period=1
√3=[1;(1,2)], period=2
√5=[2;(4)], period=1
√6=[2;(2,4)], period=2
√7=[2;(1,1,1,4)], period=4
√8=[2;(1,4)], period=2
√10=[3;(6)], period=1
√11=[3;(3,6)], period=2
√12= [3;(2,6)], period=2
√13=[3;(1,1,1,1,6)], period=5

Exactly four continued fractions, for N ≤ 13, have an odd period.

How many continued fractions for N ≤ 10000 have an odd period?



#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int getPeriod(int n)
{
	int pd = 0;
	int m = 0, d = 1;
	int a0 = int(sqrt(n));
	int a = a0;
	while (a != 2 * a0)
	{
		m = a*d - m;
		d = (n - m*m) / d;
		a = int((sqrt(n) + m) / d);
		pd++;
	}
	return pd;
}

int main()
{
	int count = 0;
	for (int i = 2; i <= 10000; i++)
	{
		if (int(sqrt(i))*int(sqrt(i)) == i)
			continue;
		if (getPeriod(i) % 2 != 0)
			count++;
		//cout << i << " " << getPeriod(i) << endl;
	}
	cout << count << endl;
	system("pause");
	return 0;
}
