=head1 NAME

Math::BigRat - Arbitrary big rational numbers

=head1 SYNOPSIS

	use Math::BigRat;

	my $x = Math::BigRat->new('3/7'); $x += '5/9';

	print $x->bstr(),"\n";
	print $x ** 2,"\n";

	my $y = Math::BigRat->new('inf');
	print "$y ", ($y->is_inf ? 'is' : 'is not') , " infinity\n";

	my $z = Math::BigRat->new(144); $z->bsqrt();

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Math::BigRat complements Math::BigInt and Math::BigFloat by providing support
for arbitrary big rational numbers.

=head2 MATH LIBRARY

You can change the underlying module that does the low-level
math operations by using:

	use Math::BigRat try => 'GMP';

Note: This needs Math::BigInt::GMP installed.

The following would first try to find Math::BigInt::Foo, then
Math::BigInt::Bar, and when this also fails, revert to Math::BigInt::Calc:

	use Math::BigRat try => 'Foo,Math::BigInt::Bar';

If you want to get warned when the fallback occurs, replace "try" with
"lib":

	use Math::BigRat lib => 'Foo,Math::BigInt::Bar';

If you want the code to die instead, replace "try" with
"only":

	use Math::BigRat only => 'Foo,Math::BigInt::Bar';

=head1 METHODS

Any methods not listed here are derived from Math::BigFloat (or
Math::BigInt), so make sure you check these two modules for further
information.

=head2 new()

	$x = Math::BigRat->new('1/3');

Create a new Math::BigRat object. Input can come in various forms:

	$x = Math::BigRat->new(123);				# scalars
	$x = Math::BigRat->new('inf');				# infinity
	$x = Math::BigRat->new('123.3');			# float
	$x = Math::BigRat->new('1/3');				# simple string
	$x = Math::BigRat->new('1 / 3');			# spaced
	$x = Math::BigRat->new('1 / 0.1');			# w/ floats
	$x = Math::BigRat->new(Math::BigInt->new(3));		# BigInt
	$x = Math::BigRat->new(Math::BigFloat->new('3.1'));	# BigFloat
	$x = Math::BigRat->new(Math::BigInt::Lite->new('2'));	# BigLite

	# You can also give D and N as different objects:
	$x = Math::BigRat->new(
		Math::BigInt->new(-123),
		Math::BigInt->new(7),
		);			# => -123/7

=head2 numerator()

	$n = $x->numerator();

Returns a copy of the numerator (the part above the line) as signed BigInt.

=head2 denominator()

	$d = $x->denominator();

Returns a copy of the denominator (the part under the line) as positive BigInt.

=head2 parts()

	($n,$d) = $x->parts();

Return a list consisting of (signed) numerator and (unsigned) denominator as
BigInts.

=head2 numify()

	my $y = $x->numify();

Returns the object as a scalar. This will lose some data if the object
cannot be represented by a normal Perl scalar (integer or float), so
use L<as_int()> or L<as_float()> instead.

This routine is automatically used whenever a scalar is required:

	my $x = Math::BigRat->new('3/1');
	@array = (0,1,2,3);
	$y = $array[$x];		# set $y to 3

=head2 as_int()/as_number()

	$x = Math::BigRat->new('13/7');
	print $x->as_int(),"\n";		# '1'

Returns a copy of the object as BigInt, truncated to an integer.

C<as_number()> is an alias for C<as_int()>.

=head2 as_float()

	$x = Math::BigRat->new('13/7');
	print $x->as_float(),"\n";		# '1'

	$x = Math::BigRat->new('2/3');
	print $x->as_float(5),"\n";		# '0.66667'

Returns a copy of the object as BigFloat, preserving the
accuracy as wanted, or the default of 40 digits.

This method was added in v0.22 of Math::BigRat (April 2008).

=head2 as_hex()

	$x = Math::BigRat->new('13');
	print $x->as_hex(),"\n";		# '0xd'

Returns the BigRat as hexadecimal string. Works only for integers.

=head2 as_bin()

	$x = Math::BigRat->new('13');
	print $x->as_bin(),"\n";		# '0x1101'

Returns the BigRat as binary string. Works only for integers.

=head2 as_oct()

	$x = Math::BigRat->new('13');
	print $x->as_oct(),"\n";		# '015'

Returns the BigRat as octal string. Works only for integers.

=head2 from_hex()/from_bin()/from_oct()

	my $h = Math::BigRat->from_hex('0x10');
	my $b = Math::BigRat->from_bin('0b10000000');
	my $o = Math::BigRat->from_oct('020');

Create a BigRat from an hexadecimal, binary or octal number
in string form.

=head2 length()

	$len = $x->length();

Return the length of $x in digits for integer values.

=head2 digit()

	print Math::BigRat->new('123/1')->digit(1);	# 1
	print Math::BigRat->new('123/1')->digit(-1);	# 3

Return the N'ths digit from X when X is an integer value.

=head2 bnorm()

	$x->bnorm();

Reduce the number to the shortest form. This routine is called
automatically whenever it is needed.

=head2 bfac()

	$x->bfac();

Calculates the factorial of $x. For instance:

	print Math::BigRat->new('3/1')->bfac(),"\n";	# 1*2*3
	print Math::BigRat->new('5/1')->bfac(),"\n";	# 1*2*3*4*5

Works currently only for integers.

=head2 bround()/round()/bfround()

Are not yet implemented.

=head2 bmod()

	use Math::BigRat;
	my $x = Math::BigRat->new('7/4');
	my $y = Math::BigRat->new('4/3');
	print $x->bmod($y);

Set $x to the remainder of the division of $x by $y.

=head2 bneg()

	$x->bneg();

Used to negate the object in-place.

=head2 is_one()

	print "$x is 1\n" if $x->is_one();

Return true if $x is exactly one, otherwise false.

=head2 is_zero()

	print "$x is 0\n" if $x->is_zero();

Return true if $x is exactly zero, otherwise false.

=head2 is_pos()/is_positive()

	print "$x is >= 0\n" if $x->is_positive();

Return true if $x is positive (greater than or equal to zero), otherwise
false. Please note that '+inf' is also positive, while 'NaN' and '-inf' aren't.

C<is_positive()> is an alias for C<is_pos()>.

=head2 is_neg()/is_negative()

	print "$x is < 0\n" if $x->is_negative();

Return true if $x is negative (smaller than zero), otherwise false. Please
note that '-inf' is also negative, while 'NaN' and '+inf' aren't.

C<is_negative()> is an alias for C<is_neg()>.

=head2 is_int()

	print "$x is an integer\n" if $x->is_int();

Return true if $x has a denominator of 1 (e.g. no fraction parts), otherwise
false. Please note that '-inf', 'inf' and 'NaN' aren't integer.

=head2 is_odd()

	print "$x is odd\n" if $x->is_odd();

Return true if $x is odd, otherwise false.

=head2 is_even()

	print "$x is even\n" if $x->is_even();

Return true if $x is even, otherwise false.

=head2 bceil()

	$x->bceil();

Set $x to the next bigger integer value (e.g. truncate the number to integer
and then increment it by one).

=head2 bfloor()

	$x->bfloor();

Truncate $x to an integer value.

=head2 bsqrt()

	$x->bsqrt();

Calculate the square root of $x.

Please see the documentation in L<Math::BigInt> for further details.

=head2 bstr()/bsstr()

	my $x = Math::BigInt->new('8/4');
	print $x->bstr(),"\n";			# prints 1/2
	print $x->bsstr(),"\n";			# prints 1/2

Euler's number.

This method was added in v0.20 of Math::BigRat (May 2007).

See also L<blog()>.

=head2 bnok()

	$x->bnok($y);		   # x over y (binomial coefficient n over k)

Calculates the binomial coefficient n over k, also called the "choose"
function. The result is equivalent to:

	( n )      n!

        print Math::BigRat->config()->{lib},"\n";
