=TITLE class FatRat | ||
class FatRat is Cool does Rational[Int, Int] | ||
A C<FatRat> is a rational number stored with arbitrary size numerator and | ||
denominator. Arithmetic operations involving a C<FatRat> and optionally L<Int> | ||
or L<Rat> objects return a C<FatRat>, avoiding loss of precision. | ||
Since, unlike L<Rat>, FatRat arithmetics do not fall back L<Num> at some | ||
point, there is a risk that repeated arithmetic operations generate | ||
pathologically large numerators and denominators. | ||
There are two common ways to generate C<FatRat> objects: through the | ||
C<FatRat.new(Int, Int)> constructor, which generates them from numerator and | ||
denominator, or by calling the C<.FatRat> method on an L<Int> or L<Rat> | ||
object. | ||
