struct BigRational

Overview

Rational numbers are represented as the quotient of arbitrarily large numerators and denominators. Rationals are canonicalized such that the denominator and the numerator have no common factors, and that the denominator is positive. Zero has the unique representation 0/1.

require "big_rational"

r = BigRational.new(BigInt.new(7), BigInt.new(3))
r.to_s # => "7/3"

r = BigRational.new(3, -9)
r.to_s # => "-1/3"

It is implemented under the hood with GMP.

Constructor Detail

def self.new(numerator : Int, denominator : Int) #

Create a new BigRational.

If denominator is 0, this will raise an exception.


View source
def self.new(num : Int) #

Creates a new BigRational with num as the numerator and 1 for denominator.
