OOP - Assignment 4

Topic: Overloaded Operators and Rational Numbers

Files: Rational.h Rational.cppTest.cpp

Create a class to represent rational numbers with the following functionality:

Constructor(s):

The user of the class should be able to create an instance of a rational number passing in 0-2 arguments. If no arguments are passed in the value should be 0, for example 0/1. If one argument is passed in, it should be considered a whole number and thus be represented over one in radical form, for example 5/1. If two numbers are passed in, the first should be considered the numerator the second the denominator. Be sure to reduce the fraction completely.

Unary Operators:

++ post and pre increment operators. These operators should add one to the number. Be sure to reduce the resulting rational.

-- post and pre decrement operators. These operators should subtract one from number. Be sure to reduce the resulting rational.

+=, -=, *=, \= operators. These operators should modify the numerator appropriately according to the rValue passed in.

() function operator. Overload this operator to return a string in the form “n/d”.

double() type cast operator. Overload this operator to return a double for the numerator divided by the denominator.

Binary Operators:

All of the binary operators listed in the class definition should be overloaded. Each of these operators should work with whole numbers and other rational numbers. Be sure to reduce the resulting radical.

Non-member Binary Operators:

The stream insertion << and stream extraction >> operators should get and show the value of the radical.

The stream-extraction operator is only required to get the rational from the user in this form n/d

The stream insertion operator should show the radical with a forward slash ‘/’ appearing between the numerator and denominator with one exception. If the denominator is 1, only the numerator should be displayed.

+, -, *, and / should be overloaded with lValues of type long. This will allow operations like 1 + r where r is an object of type rational.

Private Function(s):

A private reduce fraction and common denominator functions will be useful.

Watch out for negative values in both the numerator and denominator.
