Constructor Detail

BigFraction

public BigFraction(BigInteger num)

Create a BigFraction equivalent to the passed BigInteger, ie "num / 1".

Parameters:

num - the numerator.

BigFraction

public BigFraction(BigInteger numIn,
                   BigInteger denIn)

Create a BigFraction given the numerator and denominator as BigInteger. The BigFraction is reduced to lowest terms.

Parameters:

numIn - the numerator, must not be null.

denIn - the denominator, must not be null.

Throws:

ZeroException - if the denominator is zero.

NullArgumentException - if either of the arguments is null

BigFraction

public BigFraction(double value)

Create a fraction given the double value.

This constructor behaves differently from BigFraction(double, double, int). It converts the double value exactly, considering its internal bits representation. This works for all values except NaN and infinities and does not requires any loop or convergence threshold.

Since this conversion is exact and since double numbers are sometimes approximated, the fraction created may seem strange in some cases. For example, calling new BigFraction(1.0 / 3.0) does not create the fraction 1/3, but the fraction 6004799503160661 / 18014398509481984 because the double number passed to the constructor is not exactly 1/3 (this number cannot be stored exactly in IEEE754).

Parameters:

value - the double value to convert to a fraction.

Throws:

MathIllegalArgumentException - if value is NaN or infinite

BigFraction(double, double, int)

BigFraction

public BigFraction(double value,
                   double epsilon,

References:

• Continued Fraction equations (11) and (22)-(26)

value - the double value to convert to a fraction.

BigFraction

public BigFraction(double value,
