226. A Scoop of Blancmange

Publish Date:

The blancmange curve is the set of points $(x, y)$ such that $0 \le x \le 1$ and $y = \sum \limits_{n = 0}^{\infty} {\dfrac{s(2^n x)}{2^n}}$, where $s(x)$ is the distance from $x$ to the nearest integer.

The area under the blancmange curve is equal to ½, shown in pink in the diagram below.
