[chuck-users] Integer divisions (and Rational package)

[Robert Poor]

As promised on this topic, I've posted documentation, source code,  
example code and test suite for a Rational package at:

	http://wiki.cs.princeton.edu/index.php/Rational_Number_Package
	http://wiki.cs.princeton.edu/index.php/Rational.ck
	http://wiki.cs.princeton.edu/index.php/Rational_eg.ck
	http://wiki.cs.princeton.edu/index.php/Rational_test.ck

... respectively.  And respectfully. (Editing in Wiki ain't half  
bad!)  As a teaser, here's an example its results:
=== file: t.ck
Rational.create(pi, 1000) @=> Rational @ r2;
<<< "pi as float is ~ ", pi >>>;
<<< "pi as rational is ~ ", r2.toString(), "or", r2.toFloat() >>>;
r2.mul(2) @=> Rational @ r3;
<<< "2*pi as float is ~ ", 2 * pi >>>;
<<< "2*pi as rational is ~ ", r3.toString(), "or", r3.toFloat() >>>;
=== EOF
% chuck rational.ck t.ck
pi as float is ~  3.141593
pi as rational is ~  355/113 or 3.141593
2*pi as float is ~  6.283185
2*pi as rational is ~  710/113 or 6.283186
