In the spirit of using existing, tested and stable libraries of code, I started using the Apache-Commons-Math library and its BigFraction class to perform some rational calculations for an Android app I'm writing called RationalCalc. It works great for every task that I have thrown at it, except for one nagging problem. When dividing c...
What is an easy way to get the integral part of a BigFraction as a BigInteger? Basically I want the same result that the intValue and longValue methods return but with arbitrary precision. I also want to avoid rounding so indirect conversion via a BigDecimal is not suitable. ...
public class BigFraction { private BigInteger num; private BigInteger denom; //public static final BigFraction ZERO; /** * * Creates a BigFraction with numeriator BigInteger.ZERO and denominator BigInteger.ONE * */ public BigFraction() { //should be 0/1 num = BigInteger.ZERO; denom = BigInteger.ONE; } public BigF...
