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.

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]

[View source]
def inspect(io : IO) : Nil #
Description copied from class Object

Prints to io an unambiguous and information-rich string representation of this object, typically intended for developers.

It is similar to #to_s(IO), but often provides more information. Ideally, it should contain sufficient information to be able to recreate an object with the same value (given an identical environment).

For types that don't provide a custom implementation of this method, default implementation delegates to #to_s(IO). This said, it is advisable to have an appropriate #inspect implementation on every type. Default implementations are provided by Struct#inspect and Reference#inspect.

::p and ::p! use this method to print an object in STDOUT.


[View source]
def inspect : String #
Description copied from class Object

Returns an unambiguous and information-rich string representation of this object, typically intended for developers.

This method should usually not be overridden. It delegates to #inspect(IO) which can be overridden for custom implementations.

Also see #to_s.


[View source]
def inv : BigRational #

Returns a new BigRational as 1/r.

This will raise an exception if rational is 0.

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

Returns the string representing this rational.

Optionally takes a radix base (2 through 36).

require "big"

r = BigRational.new(8243243, 562828882)
r.to_s     # => "8243243/562828882"
r.to_s(16) # => "7dc82b/218c1652"
r.to_s(36) # => "4woiz/9b3djm"

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

Prints a nicely readable and concise string representation of this object, typically intended for users, to io.

This method is called when an object is interpolated in a string literal:

"foo #{bar} baz" # calls bar.to_io with the builder for this string

IO#<< calls this method to append an object to itself:

io << bar # calls bar.to_s(io)

Thus implementations must not interpolate self in a string literal or call io << self which both would lead to an endless loop.

Also see #inspect(IO).
