SeasidesFraction
A simple class modeling rational numbers in Ruby
This class isn't necessary, because there already is Rational
in Ruby which you should use instead of this one.
However, this code is created while working through J.B Rainsberger's The World's Best Intro to TDD (WBITDD).
WARNING: I mean it — Use Ruby's Rational
class instead.
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'seasides_fraction'
And then execute:
> bundle
Or install it yourself as:
> gem install seasides_fraction
Usage
In your code require 'seasides_rational
to load the gem and then either use the class SeasidesRational::RationalNumber
or include SeasidesRational
and use class RationalNumber
without having to type the full name all the time.
An example from an irb
session:
> irb -r seasides_rational
3.0.0 :001 > SeasidesRational::Fraction[2,3] + SeasidesRational::Fraction[7,11]
=> #<SeasidesRational::Fraction:0x00007ffb3385b138 @denominator=33, @numerator=43>
3.0.0 :002 > include SeasidesRational
=> Object
3.0.0 :003 > sum = Fraction[7,22] + Fraction[33,21]
=> #<SeasidesRational::Fraction:0x00007ffb33a24320 @denominator=154, @numerator=291>
3.0.0 :004 > sum.to_s
=> "291 / 154"
Development
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup
to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec
to run the tests. You can also run bin/console
for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install
. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb
, and then run bundle exec rake release
, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem
file to rubygems.org.
