I think you misplaced a parenthesis, and that you meant to say

1 + sqrt(2), 1 + (sqrt(2)/2)

I admit that the operator precedence rules for most computer languages would perform the division operation before the addition operation anyway, but I think most people would agree that the meaning is more clear if the parentheses are arranged as shown in the second example.

Take Care, Barry Smile
