Rational numbers, with numerator and denominator of some Integral
type.
Extract the numerator of the ratio in reduced form: the numerator and denominator have no common factor and the denominator is positive.
denominator :: Ratio a -> a #
Extract the denominator of the ratio in reduced form: the numerator and denominator have no common factor and the denominator is positive.
approxRational :: RealFrac a => a -> a -> Rational #
approxRational
, applied to two real fractional numbers x
and epsilon
,
returns the simplest rational number within epsilon
of x
.
A rational number y
is said to be simpler than another y'

Any real interval contains a unique simplest rational;
in particular, note that 0/1
is the simplest rational of all.
