Math::Fraction Description

Math::Fraction is a Perl module to manipulate exact fractions. Math::Fraction is a Perl module to manipulate exact fractions.SYNOPSIS use Math::Fraction; $a = frac(1,2); $b = frac(6,7); print "$a + $b = ", $a + $b, "$a * $b = ", $a * $b; print $a->num;Here are some key features of "Math Fraction":· Being able to add, subtract, multiply, and divide, among other things just like you would normal numbers that's to the overload module.· Being able to convert a decimal, including repeating ones, into a fraction. For example, 1.142857142857 would become 8/7.· Being able to control how the fraction is displayed. For example 8/7 verses 1 1/7· Being able to use arbitrary size numbers in the numerator and the denominator.· Being able to covert between SMALL (using normal floats/integers) and BIG (using arbitrary size floats/integers) as needed so you do not have to worry about it. (New as of ver .4a)· Being able to have multiple default sets so that a function can modify the defaults with out effecting other functions (New as of ver .4a)Requirements:· Perl Here are some key features of "Math::Fraction": · Being able to add, subtract, multiply, and divide, among other things just like you would normal numbers that's to the overload module. · Being able to convert a decimal, including repeating ones, into a fraction.
