"fractions" --- Rational numbers
********************************

**Code source :** Lib/fractions.py

======================================================================

Le module "fractions" fournit un support de l'arithmétique des nombres
rationnels.

Une instance de *Fraction* peut être construite depuis une paire
d'entiers, depuis un autre nombre rationnel, ou depuis une chaîne de
caractères.

class fractions.Fraction(numerator=0, denominator=1)
class fractions.Fraction(other_fraction)
class fractions.Fraction(float)
class fractions.Fraction(decimal)
class fractions.Fraction(string)

   The first version requires that *numerator* and *denominator* are
   instances of "numbers.Rational" and returns a new "Fraction"
   instance with value "numerator/denominator". If *denominator* is
   "0", it raises a "ZeroDivisionError". The second version requires
   that *other_fraction* is an instance of "numbers.Rational" and
   returns a "Fraction" instance with the same value.  The next two
   versions accept either a "float" or a "decimal.Decimal" instance,
   and return a "Fraction" instance with exactly the same value.  Note
   that due to the usual issues with binary floating point (see
   Floating-Point Arithmetic:  Issues and Limitations), the argument
   to "Fraction(1.1)" is not exactly equal to 11/10, and so
   "Fraction(1.1)" does *not* return "Fraction(11, 10)" as one might
   expect. (But see the documentation for the "limit_denominator()"
   method below.) The last version of the constructor expects a string
   or unicode instance. The usual form for this instance is:

      [sign] numerator ['/' denominator]

   where the optional "sign" may be either '+' or '-' and "numerator"
   and "denominator" (if present) are strings of decimal digits
   (underscores may be used to delimit digits as with integral
   literals in code).  In addition, any string that represents a
   finite value and is accepted by the "float" constructor is also
   accepted by the "Fraction" constructor.  In either form the input
   string may also have leading and/or trailing whitespace. Here are
   some examples:

      >>> from fractions import Fraction
      >>> Fraction(16, -10)
      Fraction(-8, 5)
      >>> Fraction(123)
      Fraction(123, 1)
      >>> Fraction()
      Fraction(0, 1)
      >>> Fraction('3/7')
      Fraction(3, 7)
      >>> Fraction(' -3/7 ')
      Fraction(-3, 7)
      >>> Fraction('1.414213 \t\n')
      Fraction(1414213, 1000000)
      >>> Fraction('-.125')
      Fraction(-1, 8)
      >>> Fraction('7e-6')
      Fraction(7, 1000000)
      >>> Fraction(2.25)
      Fraction(9, 4)
      >>> Fraction(1.1)
      Fraction(2476979795053773, 2251799813685248)
      >>> from decimal import Decimal
      >>> Fraction(Decimal('1.1'))
      Fraction(11, 10)

   The "Fraction" class inherits from the abstract base class
   "numbers.Rational", and implements all of the methods and
   operations from that class.  "Fraction" instances are *hashable*,
   and should be treated as immutable.  In addition, "Fraction" has
   the following properties and methods:

   Modifié dans la version 3.2: Le constructeur de "Fraction" accepte
   maintenant des instances de "float" et "decimal.Decimal".

   Modifié dans la version 3.9: The "math.gcd()" function is now used
   to normalize the *numerator* and *denominator*. "math.gcd()" always
   returns an "int" type. Previously, the GCD type depended on
   *numerator* and *denominator*.

   Modifié dans la version 3.11: Underscores are now permitted when
   creating a "Fraction" instance from a string, following **PEP 515**
   rules.

   Modifié dans la version 3.11: "Fraction" implements "__int__" now
   to satisfy "typing.SupportsInt" instance checks.

   Modifié dans la version 3.12: Space is allowed around the slash for
   string inputs: "Fraction('2 / 3')".

   Modifié dans la version 3.12: "Fraction" instances now support
   float-style formatting, with presentation types ""e"", ""E"",
   ""f"", ""F"", ""g"", ""G"" and ""%""".

   Modifié dans la version 3.13: Formatting of "Fraction" instances
   without a presentation type now supports fill, alignment, sign
   handling, minimum width and grouping.

   numerator

      Numérateur de la fraction irréductible.

   denominator

      Dénominateur de la fraction irréductible.

   as_integer_ratio()

      Return a tuple of two integers, whose ratio is equal to the
      original Fraction.  The ratio is in lowest terms and has a
      positive denominator.

      Ajouté dans la version 3.8.

   is_integer()

      Return "True" if the Fraction is an integer.

      Ajouté dans la version 3.12.

   classmethod from_float(flt)

      Ce constructeur alternatif accepte (uniquement) des nombres à
      virgule flottante, de classe "float", ou plus généralement des
      instances de "numbers.Integral". Attention,
      "Fraction.from_float(0.3)" est différent de "Fraction(3, 10)".

      Note:

        Depuis Python 3.2, vous pouvez aussi construire une instance
        de "Fraction" directement depuis un "float".

   classmethod from_decimal(dec)

      Ce constructeur alternatif accepte (uniquement) les instances de
      "decimal.Decimal" ou "numbers.Integral".

      Note:

        Depuis Python 3.2, vous pouvez aussi construire une instance
        de "Fraction" directement depuis une instance de
        "decimal.Decimal".

   limit_denominator(max_denominator=1000000)

      Trouve et renvoie la "Fraction" la plus proche de "self" qui a
      au plus *max_denominator* comme dénominateur.  Cette méthode est
      utile pour trouver des approximations rationnelles de nombres
      flottants donnés :

      >>> from fractions import Fraction
      >>> Fraction('3.1415926535897932').limit_denominator(1000)
      Fraction(355, 113)

      ou pour retrouver un nombre rationnel représenté par un flottant
      :

      >>> from math import pi, cos
      >>> Fraction(cos(pi/3))
      Fraction(4503599627370497, 9007199254740992)
      >>> Fraction(cos(pi/3)).limit_denominator()
      Fraction(1, 2)
      >>> Fraction(1.1).limit_denominator()
      Fraction(11, 10)

   __floor__()

      Renvoie le plus grand "int" "<= self".  Cette méthode peut aussi
      être utilisée à travers la fonction "math.floor()" :

      >>> from math import floor
      >>> floor(Fraction(355, 113))
      3

   __ceil__()

      Renvoie le plus petit "int" ">= self".  Cette méthode peut aussi
      être utilisée à travers la fonction "math.ceil()".

   __round__()
   __round__(ndigits)

      La première version renvoie l'"int" le plus proche de "self",
      arrondissant les demis au nombre pair le plus proche. La seconde
      version arrondit "self" au plus proche multiple de "Fraction(1,
      10**ndigits)" (logiquement, si "ndigits" est négatif),
      arrondissant toujours les demis au nombre pair le plus proche.
      Cette méthode peut aussi être utilisée à via la fonction
      "round()".

   __format__(format_spec, /)

      Provides support for formatting of "Fraction" instances via the
      "str.format()" method, the "format()" built-in function, or
      Formatted string literals.

      If the "format_spec" format specification string does not end
      with one of the presentation types "'e'", "'E'", "'f'", "'F'",
      "'g'", "'G'" or "'%'" then formatting follows the general rules
      for fill, alignment, sign handling, minimum width, and grouping
      as described in the format specification mini-language. The
      "alternate form" flag "'#'" is supported: if present, it forces
      the output string to always include an explicit denominator,
      even when the value being formatted is an exact integer. The
      zero-fill flag "'0'" is not supported.

      If the "format_spec" format specification string ends with one
      of the presentation types "'e'", "'E'", "'f'", "'F'", "'g'",
      "'G'" or "'%'" then formatting follows the rules outlined for
      the "float" type in the Mini-langage de spécification de format
      section.

      Here are some examples:

         >>> from fractions import Fraction
         >>> format(Fraction(103993, 33102), '_')
         '103_993/33_102'
         >>> format(Fraction(1, 7), '.^+10')
         '...+1/7...'
         >>> format(Fraction(3, 1), '')
         '3'
         >>> format(Fraction(3, 1), '#')
         '3/1'
         >>> format(Fraction(1, 7), '.40g')
         '0.1428571428571428571428571428571428571429'
         >>> format(Fraction('1234567.855'), '_.2f')
         '1_234_567.86'
         >>> f"{Fraction(355, 113):*>20.6e}"
         '********3.141593e+00'
         >>> old_price, new_price = 499, 672
         >>> "{:.2%} price increase".format(Fraction(new_price, old_price) - 1)
         '34.67% price increase'
