30 points

Objectives

• Be Familar with classes and objects
• Be able to design a class for a given problem
• Design a functional and efficient methods
• Choose appropriate data representations

Prelab

• Read chapter 8 - Classes and objects
• Read the javadoc note posted on the class website

Problem
 
Create a class called Rational for performing arithmetic operations with Rationals. The class Rational must have the following data members, contructors and methods:

• Data members:
  private
  int numerator
  int denominator
• Constructors
  Default-argument constructor
  Two-argument constructor to initialize numerator and denominator
• Accessors (Getters)
  public int getNumerator() - return the numerator
  public int getDenominator() - return the denominator
• Modifiers (Setters)
  public void setNumerator(int value) - set the numerator to value
  public void setDenominator(int value) - set the denominator to value
• public inputRational()
  Input the numerator and the denominator from the keyboard
• public String toString()
  return a string  in the form numerator/denominator
• private int gcd(int  m, int n) - return the greatest common divisor
  int r;
  while(n != 0)
  { r = m % n;
    m = n;
   n = r;
  }
  return m;
• Add two Rational numbers
  pubic void add(Rational, r1, Rational r2)
  
• Subtract two Rational numbers
  public Rational  sub(Rational r)
  
• Multiply two Rational numbers
  public void mul(Rational r1,Rational r2)
  
• Divide two Rational Numbers
  public Rational div(Rational R)
  
• Return the real value or Rational r1 divided by Rational r2
  public static double divToDouble(Rational r1,Rational r2)

Write a main method to test the class Rational. All the Rational objects should must be reduced by using the greatest common denominator.

1. Input Rational object  R1
2. Input Rational object R2
3. Add the Rational objects R1 and R2 and store the result in the Rational object R3. Display the result in the following Rormat:
   numerator/demoninator + numberator/denominator =  numerator/denominator.
4. Subtract the Rational object R2 Rrom the Rational object R1 and store the result in the Rational object R3. Display the result in the following format:
   numerator/demoninator - numberator/denominator =  numberator/denominator.
5. Multiply the Rational object R1 with the Rational object R2 and store the result in the object R3. Display the result in the following format:
   numerator/demoninator * numberator/denominator =  numberator/denominator.
   
6. Divide the Rational object R1by the Rational object R2 and store the result in the object R3. Display the result in the following format:
   numerator/demoninator / numberator/denominator =  numerator/denominator.
7. Display the result or dividing the object R1 by the object R2 in a real number.
8. Change the numerator or object R1 to 2
9. Change the denominator or object R2 to 5
10. Display the numerator or R1 and the denominator or R2 in the following format:
    Numerator: ______
    Denominator: _____

Grading requirements

• A hard copy or your designing classes.
• Document your program with Javadoc and other comments
• Demonstrate the result to the instructor
• Submit the lab assignment including the main method to the Beachboard.
