Objectives
Learn how to enable C# operators to work with class objects using operator overloading.
Problem Description
You are to write a C# windows application that uses the concept of operator overloading.
Your program should define class Fraction with the private members: numerator and denominator.
You should create a fraction calculator that will have the following functions:
1 Add/subtract two Fraction numbers:
If the fractions have the same denominator, their sum/subtraction is the sum/subtraction of the
numerators over the denominator.
For example: 3/11 + 4/11 = 7/11
If the fractions have different denominators:
1) First, find the maximum common denominator.
2) Then write equivalent fractions using this denominator.
3) Add or subtract the fractions. Reduce if necessary.
For example:
3/7 + 1/2 =13/14
2 To Multiply two Fractions:
When two fractions are multiplied, the result is a fraction with a numerator that is the product of the
fractions' numerators and a denominator that is the product of the fractions' denominators.
For Example: 3/4 * 1/7 = 3/28
3 Your program should be able to compare two fractions
For example:
1 /3> 1/4 is True and 1/5 < 1/6 is False.
