Golang Program to convert a number into a rational number
In this tutorial we will see how to convert a number into a rational number using Go programming language.
A rational number is a type of real number, which is in the form of p/q where q is not equal to zero. Any fraction with non-zero denominators is a rational number. Some of the examples of rational numbers are 1/2, 1/5, 3/4, and so on.
Syntax
funcNewRat(a, b int64) *Rat
NewRat creates a new Rat with numerator a and denominator b
Syntax for Scanln:
Func Scanln(a…interface{}) (n int, err error)
Package math/big implements arbitrary-precision arithmetic (big numbers).
NewRat(a, b) returns a *Rat set to the fraction a/b where a and b are int64 values
Convert A Number To A Rational Number With One Input
Algorithm
Step 1 − Import the package fmt and math/big package
Step 2 − Start function main()
Step 3 − Declare the NewRat function
Step 4 − Initialize the formula with a value
Step 5 − Print the rational number on the screen using fmt.Println()
Example
This example shows how to convert a number to a rational number with one input
package main // import the fmt and math/big package // fmt package provides the function to print anything import ( "fmt" "math/big" ) func main() { fmt.Println("Golang Program to convert a number into a rational number") // NewRat creates a new Rat with numerator a and denominator b r := new(big.Rat) //use the Sscan function so that it returns two //values: a string and an error _, err := fmt.Sscan("2.5", r) //if statement to check for an invalid request if err != nil { //and return an error if the request is invalid fmt.Println("error scanning value:", err) } else { // Print the rational number fmt.Println("The rational number is",r) } }
Output
Golang Program to convert a number into a rational number The rational number is 5/2
Description of code
In the above program, we first declare the package main.
We imported the fmt package that includes the files of package fmt and we also imported math/big package for implementing big numbers
Now start the function main()
Declare the NewRat function which creates a new rational number with a numerator and denominator
Next initialize the formula with a number value, which you want to be converted to a rational number
In the line - _, err := fmt.Sscan("2.5", r) - Calling the Sscan() function which returns the number successfully scanned and error if it persists
Next - if err != nil { - this line gets executed if there is any error
Last we print the rational number on the screen using fmt.Println()
Convert a number to a rational number with 2 inputs
Algorithm
Step 1 − Import the package fmt and math/big package
Step 2 − Start function main()
Step 3 − Declare the NewRat function
Step 4 − Initialize the formula with a value
Step 5 − Calling the Scanln() function for scanning, reading and storing the input
Step 6 − Print the rational number on the screen using fmt.Println()
Example
This example shows how to convert a number to a rational number with 2 inputs
// Including the main package package main // Importing fmt and math/big import ( "fmt" "math/big" ) // Calling main func main() { fmt.Println("Golang Program to convert a number into a rational number") // NewRat creates a new Rat with numerator a and denominator b r := big.NewRat(6, 8) // Calling Scanln() function for // scanning and reading the input fmt.Scanln(r) // Printing the result fmt.Println("The rational number is",r) }
Output
Golang Program to convert a number into a rational number The rational number is 3/4
Description of code
In the above program, we first declare the package main.
We imported the fmt package that includes the files of package fmt and we also imported math/big package for implementing big numbers
Now start the function main()
Declare the NewRat function which creates a new rational number with a numerator and denominator
Next using a value of a number which you want to be cinverted to rational number, apply it to the NewRat formula
Calling the Scanln() function for scanning and reading the input and storing it in the variable r
Last print the rational number on the screen using fmt.Println()
Conclusion
In the above two examples we have successfully compiled and executed the Golang code to convert a number into a rational number using Go programming language.
