# This library is no longer being maintained, and is included for backward

# This legacy library is deprecated and will be removed in a future

# In particular, this should not be used as an example of modern Perl

# Arbitrary size rational math package

# by Mark Biggar
#
# Input values to these routines consist of strings of the form 
#   m|^\s*[+-]?[\d\s]+(/[\d\s]+)?$|.
# Examples:
#   "+0/1"                          canonical zero value
#   "3"                             canonical value "+3/1"
#   "   -123/123 123"               canonical value "-1/1001"
#   "123 456/7890"                  canonical value "+20576/1315"
# Output values always include a sign and no leading zeros or
#   white space.
# This package makes use of the bigint package.
# The string 'NaN' is used to represent the result when input arguments 
#   that are not numbers, as well as the result of dividing by zero and
#       the sqrt of a negative number.
# Extremely naive algorithms are used.
#
# Routines provided are:
#
#   rneg(RAT) return RAT                negation
#   rabs(RAT) return RAT                absolute value
#   rcmp(RAT,RAT) return CODE           compare numbers (undef,<0,=0,>0)
#   radd(RAT,RAT) return RAT            addition
#   rsub(RAT,RAT) return RAT            subtraction
#   rmul(RAT,RAT) return RAT            multiplication
#   rdiv(RAT,RAT) return RAT            division
#   rmod(RAT) return (RAT,RAT)          integer and fractional parts
#   rnorm(RAT) return RAT               normalization
#   rsqrt(RAT, cycles) return RAT       square root
