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"

r = BigRational.new(7.to_big_i, 3.to_big_i)
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) #

Creates a new BigRational.

If denominator is 0, this will raise an exception.


def self.new(num : Int) #

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


def self.new(num : Float) #

Creates a exact representation of float as rational.


def self.new(num : BigRational) #

Creates a BigRational from the given num.


def self.new(num : BigDecimal) #

Creates a BigRational from the given num.

def *(other : Int) #

def *(other : BigRational) #

def **(other : Int) : BigRational #

Raises the rational to the otherth power

This will raise DivisionByZeroError if rational is 0 and other is negative.

BigRational.new(2, 3) ** -1 # => 3/2

def <<(other : Int) #

Multiplies the rational by (2 ** other)

require "big"

BigRational.new(2, 3) << 2 # => 8/3

def <=>(other : BigDecimal) #
Description copied from module Comparable(BigDecimal)

The comparison operator. Returns 0 if the two objects are equal, a negative number if this object is considered less than other, a positive number if this object is considered greater than other, or nil if the two objects are not comparable.

Subclasses define this method to provide class-specific ordering.

The comparison operator is usually used to sort values:

# Sort in a descending way:
[3, 1, 2].sort { |x, y| y <=> x } # => [3, 2, 1]

# Sort in an ascending way:
[3, 1, 2].sort { |x, y| x <=> y } # => [1, 2, 3]

def <=>(other : Int) #

def <=>(other : Float) #

def <=>(other : Float32 | Float64) #

def <=>(other : BigRational) #

def >>(other : Int) #

Divides the rational by (2 ** other)

require "big"

BigRational.new(2, 3) >> 2 # => 1/6

def abs #
Description copied from struct Number

Returns the absolute value of this number.

123.abs  # => 123
-123.abs # => 123

def ceil #

def clone #

def denominator #

def floor #

def hash(hasher) #

TODO improve this


def inspect : String #
Description copied from class Object

Returns a String representation of this object suitable to be embedded inside other expressions, sometimes providing more information about this object.

#inspect (and #inspect(io)) are the methods used when you invoke #to_s or #inspect on an object that holds other objects and wants to show them. For example when you invoke Array#to_s, #inspect will be invoked on each element:

ary = ["one", "two", "three, etc."]
ary.inspect # => ["one", "two", "three, etc."]

Note that if Array invoked #to_s on each of the elements above, the output would have been this:

ary = ["one", "two", "three, etc."]
# If inspect invoked to_s on each element...
ary.inspect # => [one, two, three, etc.]

Note that it's not clear how many elements the array has, or which are they, because #to_s doesn't guarantee that the string representation is clearly delimited (in the case of String the quotes are not shown).

Also note that sometimes the output of #inspect will look like a Crystal expression that will compile, but this isn't always the case, nor is it necessary. Notably, Reference#inspect and Struct#inspect return values that don't compile.

Classes must usually not override this method. Instead, they must override #inspect(io), which must append to the given IO object.


def inspect(io : IO) : Nil #
Description copied from class Object

Appends a string representation of this object to the given IO object.

Similar to #to_s(io), but usually appends more information about this object. See #inspect.


def inv #

Returns a new BigRational as 1/r.

This will raise an exception if rational is 0.


def numerator #

def to_big_d #

Converts self to BigDecimal.


def to_big_f #

def to_big_i #

def to_f #

Returns the Float64 representing this rational.

def to_f32 #

def to_i8(*args, **options, &) #

def to_i8(*args, **options) #

def to_s(io : IO, base : Int = 10) : Nil #
Description copied from class Object

Appends a String representation of this object to the given IO object.

An object must never append itself to the io argument, as this will in turn call #to_s(io) on it.


def to_s(base : Int = 10) : String #

Returns the string representing this rational.

Optionally takes a radix base (2 through 36).
