-# by Keiju ISHITSUKA(SHL Japan Inc.)

-# Documentation by Kevin Jackson and Gavin Sinclair.
-#
-# When you <tt>require 'rational'</tt>, all interactions between numbers
-# potentially return a rational result. For example:
-#
-# 1.quo(2) # -> 0.5
-# require 'rational'
-# 1.quo(2) # -> Rational(1,2)
-#
-# See Rational for full documentation.
-#
-
-#
-# Creates a Rational number (i.e. a fraction). +a+ and +b+ should be Integers:
-#
-# Rational(1,3) # -> 1/3
-#
-# Note: trying to construct a Rational with floating point or real values
-# produces errors:
-#
-# Rational(1.1, 2.3) # -> NoMethodError
-#
-def Rational(a, b = 1)
- if a.kind_of?(Rational) && b == 1
- a
- else
- Rational.reduce(a, b)

-# Rational implements a rational class for numbers.
-#
-# <em>A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a fraction p/q
-# where p and q are integers and q != 0. A rational number p/q is said to have
-# numerator p and denominator q. Numbers that are not rational are called
-# irrational numbers.</em> (http://mathworld.wolfram.com/RationalNumber.html)
-#
-# To create a Rational Number:
-# Rational(a,b) # -> a/b
-# Rational.new!(a,b) # -> a/b
-#
-# Examples:
-# Rational(5,6) # -> 5/6
-# Rational(5) # -> 5/1
-#
-# Rational numbers are reduced to their lowest terms:
-# Rational(6,10) # -> 3/5
-#
-# But not if you use the unusual method "new!":
-# Rational.new!(6,10) # -> 6/10
-#
-# Division by zero is obviously not allowed:
-# Rational(3,0) # -> ZeroDivisionError
