NAME

Math::Bacovia::Fraction - Represents a symbolic fraction.

SYNOPSIS

use 5.014;
use Math::Bacovia qw(Fraction Symbol);

my $f = Fraction(Symbol('a'), Symbol('b'));
my $g = Fraction(Symbol('x'), Symbol('y'));

say (($f + $g)->pretty);    #=> (((a * y) + (x * b))/(b * y))

METHODS

This section describes the methods provided by the Math::Bacovia::Fraction module.

new

my $obj = Math::Bacovia::Fraction->new($numerator, $denominator);

Constructs and returns a new Math::Bacovia::Fraction object.

get

my ($numerator, $denominator) = $obj->get;

Returns the internal values of the self-object.

add

$x + $y
$x->add($y)

Sum of x and y, using the identity:

a/b + c/d = (a*d + c*b) / (b*d)

sub

$x - $y
$x->sub($y)

Subtraction of y from x, using the identity:

a/b - c/d = (a*d - c*b) / (b*d)

mul

$x * $y
$x->mul($y)

Product of x and y, using the identity:

(a/b) * (c/d) = (a*c) / (b*d)

div

$x / $y
$x->div($y)

Division of x by y, using the identity:

(a/b) / (c/d) = (a*d) / (b*c)

inv

$x->inv

Multiplicative inverse of x, using the identity:

1/(a/b) = b/a

eq

$x == $y
$x->eq($y)

Return a true value when x and y are symbolically equal.

SPECIAL METHODS

This section describes the special methods provided by the Math::Bacovia::Fraction module.

alternatives

my @alt = $obj->alternatives;
my @alt = $obj->alternatives(full => 1);

This method uses common mathematical identities to create symbolically equivalent expressions from the self-expression.

pretty

my $str = $obj->pretty;

Returns a human-readable stringification of the self-expression.

stringify

my $str = $obj->stringify;

Returns a stringification of the self-expression.

numeric

my $num = $obj->numeric;

Evaluates the self-expression numerically and returns a Math::AnyNum object.
