Operations
There are two access functions, namely to the numerator and the denominator of a rational. Note that these values are not uniquely defined. It is guaranteed that q.numerator() and q.denominator() return values nt_num and nt_den such that q = nt_num/nt_den, only if q.numerator() and q.denominator() are called consecutively wrt. q, i.e. q is not involved in any other operation between these calls.
Gmpz	numerator () const
	returns the numerator of q.
Gmpz	denominator () const
	returns the denominator of q.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

CGAL::Gmpq::Gmpq

(

const std::string &

str)

creates a Gmpq initialized with str, which can be an integer like "41" or a fraction like "41/152".

White space is allowed in the string, and ignored.

CGAL::Gmpq::Gmpq	(	const std::string &	str,
		int	base
	)

creates a Gmpq initialized with str in base base, which is an integer between 2 and 62.

White space in the string is ignored.
