nFractions

Creates fractions using BigInts.

Syntax

new Fraction(  numerator,  denominator  )

• numerator: string, number, bigint, Fraction (default: 0)
• denominator: string, number, bigint, Fraction (default: 1)

new Fraction(1, 2)     //  = 1/2
new Fraction(2n, 4n)   //  = 2/4
new Fraction("1", "2") //  = 1/2
new Fraction("1", -2n) //  = 1/-2
new Fraction("1/2")    //  = 1/2
new Fraction(new Fraction("1/2")) //  = 1/2
new Fraction("1/2", 2) //  = 1/4
new Fraction(.5, .5)   //  = 5/5
new Fraction(1)        //  = 1/1
new Fraction()         //  = 0/1
new Fraction(1, 0)     //  err: ZeroDivisionError

new Fraction(.11111111111111111111111111111)   //  = 1111111111111111/10000000000000000
new Fraction(".11111111111111111111111111111") //  = 11111111111111111111111111111/1000000000000000000000000000000000

Properties

• .numerator: BigInt
• .denominator: BigInt
• .isNaN: Boolean
• .isNegative: Boolean
• .negative: Fraction
  • Returns the faction with a negated numerator. Does not change the value of the variable.
• .reciprocal: Fraction
  • Returns the reciprical. Does not change the value of the variable.
• .whole: BigInt

Inequality/inequality

• Equals
  • .eq( value ) (mimics ==)
• Strictly Equals
  • .seq( value ) (mimics ===)
• Less Than
  • .lt( value ) (mimics <)
• Less Than or Equals
  • .lteq( value ) (mimics <=)
• Greater Than
  • .gt( value ) (mimics >)
• Greater Than or Equals
  • .gteq( value ) (mimics >=)

Examples

new Fraction(1, 2).lt(1n)      // => true
new Fraction(1, 2).gt(.5)      // => false
new Fraction(1, 2).lteq("foo") // => false
new Fraction(1, 2).eq("1/2")   // => true
new Fraction(1, 2).seq("1/2")  // => false
new Fraction(1, 2).seq(new Fraction("1/2")) // => true

Arithmatic

• Addition
  • .plus( addend ) (mimics +)
• Subtraction
  • .minus( subtrahend ) (mimics -)
• Multiplication
  • .times( multiplicidad ) (mimics *)
• Division
  • .divide( dividend ) (mimics /)

Parameters can only be of type number, Fraction, bigint, or parsebale string.

• Exponentiation

  • Fraction.pow( fraction , exponent ) (mimics Math.pow())
  • Only accepts Fractions as first input and integers (including BigInts) as second

• Absolution

  • Fraction.abs( fraction ) (mimics Math.abs())
  • Only accepts Fractions as input

• Reciprocation

  • .reciprocate()
  • This will change the value of the variable.

• Simplification

  • .reduce()
  • This will change the value of the variable.

.clone()

Returns a copy of the variable. Eliminates the risk of call-by-sharing logic errors.

Statics

Fraction.NaN

Acts as NaN as a fraction. Math and comparisons cannot be done with it.

Will not throw an error if the input is not a string. May throw a ZeroDivisionError.

Fraction.parseFraction()

Accepts only strings. Will always return a Fraction or Fraction.NaN. Will return whatever fraction is within the string.

Fraction.parseFraction("1/2")     // =>  1/2
Fraction.parseFraction(" 1 / 2 ") // =>  1/2
Fraction.parseFraction("0b1/0x2") // =>  1/2
Fraction.parseFraction("-1 / +2") // => -1/2
Fraction.parseFraction("1/0")     // err: ZeroDivisionError
Fraction.parseFraction(6)         // => NaN
Fraction.parseFraction("foo")     // => NaN
