:mod:`rational` --- Rational numbers
|
||
|
|
====================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. module:: rational
|
||
|
|
:synopsis: Rational numbers.
|
||
|
|
.. moduleauthor:: Jeffrey Yasskin <jyasskin at gmail.com>
|
||
|
|
.. sectionauthor:: Jeffrey Yasskin <jyasskin at gmail.com>
|
||
|
|
.. versionadded:: 2.6
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The :mod:`rational` module defines an immutable, infinite-precision
|
||
|
|
Rational number class.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. class:: Rational(numerator=0, denominator=1)
|
||
|
|
Rational(other_rational)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The first version requires that *numerator* and *denominator* are
|
||
|
|
instances of :class:`numbers.Integral` and returns a new
|
||
|
|
``Rational`` representing ``numerator/denominator``. If
|
||
|
|
*denominator* is :const:`0`, raises a :exc:`ZeroDivisionError`. The
|
||
|
|
second version requires that *other_rational* is an instance of
|
||
|
|
:class:`numbers.Rational` and returns an instance of
|
||
|
|
:class:`Rational` with the same value.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Implements all of the methods and operations from
|
||
|
|
:class:`numbers.Rational` and is hashable.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. method:: Rational.from_float(flt)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This classmethod constructs a :class:`Rational` representing the
|
||
|
|
exact value of *flt*, which must be a :class:`float`. Beware that
|
||
|
|
``Rational.from_float(0.3)`` is not the same value as ``Rational(3,
|
||
|
|
10)``
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. method:: Rational.__floor__()
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Returns the greatest :class:`int` ``<= self``. Will be accessible
|
||
|
|
through :func:`math.floor` in Py3k.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. method:: Rational.__ceil__()
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Returns the least :class:`int` ``>= self``. Will be accessible
|
||
|
|
through :func:`math.ceil` in Py3k.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. method:: Rational.__round__()
|
||
|
|
Rational.__round__(ndigits)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The first version returns the nearest :class:`int` to ``self``,
|
||
|
|
rounding half to even. The second version rounds ``self`` to the
|
||
|
|
nearest multiple of ``Rational(1, 10**ndigits)`` (logically, if
|
||
|
|
``ndigits`` is negative), again rounding half toward even. Will be
|
||
|
|
accessible through :func:`round` in Py3k.
