BasicObject
Creates a Rational number (i.e. a fraction).
a
and b
should be Integers:
Rational(1,3) # -> 1/3
Note: trying to construct a Rational with floating point or real values produces errors:
Rational(1.1, 2.3) # -> NoMethodError
# File rational.rb, line 31 def Rational(a, b = 1) if a.kind_of?(Rational) && b == 1 a else Rational.reduce(a, b) end end
