# Mode of a Christoffel word. (A ''Christoffel word with rational slope'' ''p''/''q'' is the unique path from (0, 0) and (''p'', ''q'') in the 2-dimensional integer lattice graph above the ''x''-axis and below the line ''y'' = ''p''/''q''*''x'' that stays as close to the line ''y'' = ''p''/''q''*''x'' without crossing it.) | # Mode of a Christoffel word.
