Hi.
I checked commons-number's class Fraction's function pow.
It looks good, and seems can be ported to commons-lang after several changes.
But it also differs slightly in some ways.
1. if exponent == 1, then the pow in commons-lang MUST return the original
Fraction Object itself.
2. if exponent == -1, then the pow in commons-lang MUST return the reversed
Fraction Object, but cannot do trim.
for example, (6/10 , -1) MUST return 10/6 , but MUST NOT return 5/3
3. must trim otherwise before do the pow.
However, it really helps, as I get some new ideas about how do a deeper refine.
will commit soon.
