simplify_fraction
Description:
[ Version ( since = "1.24" ) ]
public void simplify_fraction (int numerator, int denominator, uint n_terms, uint threshold)
Calculates the simpler representation of numerator and denominator and update both values with the resulting
simplified fraction.
Simplify a fraction using a simple continued fraction decomposition. The idea here is to convert fractions such as 333333/10000000 to 1/30
using 32 bit arithmetic only. The algorithm is not perfect and relies upon two arbitrary parameters to remove non-significative terms from the
simple continued fraction decomposition. Using 8 and 333 for n_terms and threshold respectively seems to give nice
results.
Parameters:
| numerator |
First value as int |
| denominator |
Second value as int |
| n_terms |
non-significative terms (typical value: 8) |
| threshold |
threshold (typical value: 333) |
