http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29294 [lang][PATCH] lang.math.Fraction class deficiencies ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-06-03 20:14 ------- Imported from commons-dev mailing list discussion for archival here: From: Stephen Colebourne Subject: Re: [lang] [math] org.apache.commons.lang.math.Fraction class I had a 5 second look yesterday, and realised how big the change is. My immediate concern is that the Fraction class has lost its final status, making it less immutable. I was wondering whether it would be possible to have just one class (rather than an additional BadFraction subclass) that held an additional field only used when using non-reduced fractions. Effectively merging the two classes into one? Also, I wasn't sure what 'relatively prime' actually meant. Its probably too mathematical for the target audience in [lang]. Finally, I believe that [lang] is the right place for these (including BigFraction). They represent missing parts of the JDK, so [lang] is appropriate. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
