NAME

src/dynpmc/rational.pmc - Rational numbers PMC

DESCRIPTION

Rational is currently going to get implemented. It uses the GNU Multiple Precision (GMP) library, like BigInt, because implementation with integers would be too unstable and inaccurate.

'LispRational' will subclass this.

You may use Rational with any of parrot's basic data types as well as with String-, Integer- and Float-PMCs.

Functions

Currently rational.pmc only has some static functions for code sharing.

• static STRING *rat_get_string_to_base(PARROT_INTERP, PMC *self, int base)

Returns a string representation of a Rational-PMC to a certain base.

• static void rat_add_integer(PARROT_INTERP, PMC *self, int value)

Adds an integer "value" to a Rational-PMC inplace.

• static void rat_add_float(PARROT_INTERP, PMC *self, double value)

Adds a float "value" to a Rational-PMC in-place. "value" is first conveted to a rational using GMPs mpq_set_d-function. This is meant to be exact.

• static void rat_multiply_integer(PARROT_INTERP, PMC *self, int value)

Multiplys a Rational-PMC with an integer "value" in-place.

• static void rat_multiply_float(PARROT_INTERP, PMC *self, double value)

Multiplies a Rational-PMC with a float "value" in-place.

• static void rat_divide_integer(PARROT_INTERP, PMC *self, int value)

Divides a Rational-PMC through an integer "value" in-place.

• static void rat_divide_float(PARROT_INTERP, PMC *self, double value)

Divides a Rational-PMC through a float "value" in-place.

Methods

The DynPMC Rational has the following methods. Note, that all methods depend on GMP. If GMP is not available, an exception is thrown in almost all cases. The only exception is the version-method.

METHOD version()

Returns the version of GNU Multiple Precision library. Returns 0.0.0, if GMP is not available.
