CSE 1301 Project#4
Rational Number Class
Due: Monday July 13, 2009
Define the Rational class according to the specifications given on the
handout and in class discussions
Define 3 constructors and a toString method, setters, and getters
Define arithmetic methods for add, subtract, multiply, divide, and
negate.
Define logical methods for equals, notEquals, lessThan,
lessThanOrEqual, greaterThan, and greaterThanOrEqual.
All negative values should be represented with – sign in the numerator
Extra Credit: add a greatestCommonDivisor method to reduce a
Rational number to its lowest terms. If you write this method, add the
reduced values to your output. For example:
½ + ¾ = 10/8 reduced to 5/4
Run three times with the following data: (read in the data then use one
of the constructors or the setter methods to fill objects with data)
Input 1: 1/2, 3/4
Input 2: 1/2, 16/32
Input 3: 3/-5, 2
Output (using the first set of numbers):
Rational 1 –> ½ reduced to _______
Rational 2 -> ¾ reduced to_______
½ + ¾ ______ reduced to_______
½ - ¾______ reduced to_______
½ * ¾ ______ reduced to_______
½ / ¾______ reduced to_______
- ½ ______ reduced to_______
½ == ¾ ______ print true or false
½ != ¾ ________ print true or false
½ > ¾ ______ print true or false
½ >= ¾ ______ print true or false
½ < ¾ ______ print true or false
½ <= ¾ ______ print true or false
