#
# 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
