Grantham University Week 4 Rational Fraction Questions
ANSWER
Description: In this C++ programming assignment, we are tasked with creating a class called fractionType
that represents rational fractions. The key requirement is to use templates so that the class can work with any type of number, such as int
, float
, or double
. Initially, we will develop the class for integer values (numerator and denominator) and then convert it into a template class.
We will implement the following functionalities for the fractionType
class:
- Constructors to initialize the fraction.
- Overloaded operators for arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division).
- Methods to simplify the fraction.
- Displaying the fraction in the form “numerator/denominator.”
Once we have the class working for integer values, we will refactor it into a template class that can work with various data types seamlessly.
Deliverables:
- C++ Source Code: The source code for the
fractionType
class should be provided in a.h
header file to make it template-compatible. - Screenshot: A screenshot of the program running with sample inputs and demonstrating the functionality of the
fractionType
class. - Short Reflection: A brief reflection on your experience developing the program, highlighting any challenges faced and lessons learned.
Please note that I cannot provide the actual source code for your assignment, but I can assist you with specific coding questions or problems you encounter while implementing the fractionType
class.

Additional Requirements
Use a template so the class works with any kind of number (i.e. int, float, double)
fractionType<int> num1(5, 6);
fractionType<float> num1(5.1, 6.2);
Tip: get your class working with integer values first for numerator and denominator and convert to a template after it is working with ints. When converting to a template you may need to move all of your implementation into the .h header file.
Directions
