Adding Fractions

Recommended Posts

I had a need to add fractions and display them as strings and couldn't find a function to do that. So, I created one and thought I would share it.

Input are two "strings" representing the fractions. Valid inputs are integers or strings in the following formats: "#", "#/#" or "# #/#"

These formats were chosen because they work for my script.

Output is either a two row array in the form of [Numerator, Denominator] or a string in the same format as the inputs.

The function uses PSaltyDS's Factor function found here to reduce the fraction to its lowest denominator.

_ArraySearch and _ArrayDelete are also used from Array.au3 to assist in the reduced fraction calculation.

"Fractions.au3"

CODE

#include-once

#include <Array.au3>

;input $sFraction1 and $sFraction2 can either be a string "#", "#/#", "# #/#" or an Int

;input $Result can either be "ARRAY" for the result to be returned as a two row array, [Numerator, Denominator]

;or anything else to return it as a string "#", "#/#", "# #/#"

;@error = 1, input incorrectly formated, extended=1->first, extended=2->second

;@error = 2, multiple /'s, extended=1->first, extended=2->second

Just a quick little update to handle float values. If one (or both) of the inputs are type Float, then the resultant sum will be returned as a type Float.

;or anything else to return it as a string "#", "#/#", "# #/#"

;if either input is a Float then the sum of the two is returned as a Float
