Fractions

OOP skills shown through creating a Fraction class within Python

Fractions

OOP example using Frcations Project: Fractions

The goal of this project is to simpley allow the user to work with fractions within pythons the code uses classes and the user can creat fraction as object of this class

Code was writen within python 3.5.0

when running the best method is to create your fraction by assigning them to a name such as fraction1

program was created based on instructions giving within the labsheet 8 on the 121COM module (included in respoistory)

example of code addition method:

#method to add fractions

def __add__(self,fraction):

    #variable assignment
    
    n1 = self.numerator
    d1 = self.denominator
    n2 = fraction.numerator
    d2 = fraction.denominator

    #calculations required so that I can add the fractions

    answerNumerator = (n1*d2) + (n2*d1)
    answerDenominator = (d1*d2)

    #using hcf method so it will return the fraction in it's simplist form

    a = Fraction.hcf(answerNumerator,answerDenominator)

    return(str(int(answerNumerator/a)) + "/" + str(int(answerDenominator/a)))

To get this to work within Python 3.5.0 shell all you need to do is this:

  fraction1 = Fraction(1,6) #creates a fraction and assigns it, in this example the fraction is 1/6
  fraction2 = Fraction(1,2)

  print(fraction1 + fraction2)
