Re: Limit Guessing Algorithm

One of the difficulties of this kind of a problem is that one is looking for a solution to a limited number of data points for which it may be possible to define a function. There can never be a guarantee that the chosen "fit" can be reliably extrapolated. You need to tie a possible solution to

Limit Guessing Algorithm

Hello hello, I'm looking for a piece of code, preferably in Python, that will do the following. It will accept a few data points (x,f(x)) of a function that converges to some finite value when x converges to infinity. I need the algorithm to guess what that limit is, to whatever precision it can.
