julialangHow to work with rational numbers in JuliaLang?

Rational numbers in JuliaLang can be represented using the Rational type. For example, the fraction 1/2 can be represented as Rational{Int64}(1,2):

julia> Rational{Int64}(1,2)
1//2

To perform arithmetic operations on rational numbers, the // operator can be used. For example, to add two rational numbers 1/2 and 1/3:

julia> Rational{Int64}(1,2) + Rational{Int64}(1,3)
5//6

Code explanation

• Rational type: used to represent rational numbers
• // operator: used to perform arithmetic operations on rational numbers
