Additional Fraction Constructor
-------------------------------
Key: MATH-754
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-754
Project: Commons Math
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 3.0
Environment: All
Reporter: Travis Hanna
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 3.0
Attachments: math.patch
I'm writing some code who's output includes fractional measurements meant for
human consumption. I need a constructor for Fraction which allows you to
restrict the denominators to a finite set. This is necessary due to the fact
that real-world tools are only available with certain fractions. For example,
it's next to impossible to find a ruler with 1/7 inch marked :).
I'm attaching a patch which implements the functionality. I've attempted to
mimic the style of the existing code as much as possible. One caveat: I don't
speak French so the french error message is a computer-generated translation
and probably very poor.
