Introduction

Python script to generate Ramanujan numbers (numbers that can be expressed as the sum of two different cubes in two different ways)

For example, 1729 = 10^3 + 9^3 = 12^3 + 1^3

where ^ denotes exponentiation.

Installation

Install R

https://www.r-project.org/

R Studio

https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/preview/

and Python

https://www.python.org/downloads/

In R run the following commands

install.packages('sqldf')
install.packages('ggplot2')

or

install.packages('devtools')
library(devtools)
devtools::install_github('neelsoumya/ramanujan_number_generator')

Clone or download the repository

git clone https://github.com/neelsoumya/ramanujan_number_generator

Usage

python ramanujan_test_v1.py
R --no-save < analysis.R
