Hello NG, recently I was using Scheme and Ruby and was really nicely surprised to find there support for the computing with rational numbers
for example this how it works in Ruby mond:/pool/PROG/ruby # irb irb(main):001:0> irb(main):002:0* require "mathn" => true irb(main):003:0> r = Rational(1,3) => 1/3 irb(main):004:0> p = Rational(1,5) => 1/5 irb(main):005:0> r+p => 8/15 irb(main):007:0> (r+p)**2 => 64/225 irb(main):008:0> does anybody know modules which make rational numbers available? and are there considerations to add them to the core, like complex numbers (maybe in Python 3) Regards, Daniel -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
