This does not make an awful lot of sense. I have 1/2 and 3/4. The mediant is 4/6 which is 2/3. Okay. Now I have 1/2 and 6/8. Actually, these are the same number

- uoaei 4y agoAuthor is demonstrating a kind of binary search. Of course, binary search requires a target value, something to search, so your toy problem is underspecified. Then your next interval would be (1/2, 2/3) or (2/3, 3/4) depending on whether s > 2/3 or s < 2/3, where s is your search term.
