PosRationals: Set of Positive Rational Numbers

Description

The mathematical set of positive rational numbers, defined as the set of numbers that can be written as a fraction of two integers and are non-negative. i.e. $$\frac{p}{q}:p,q\in Z,p/q\ge 0,q\ne 0$$ where $Z$ is the set of integers.

Value

An R6 object of class PosRationals.

Constructor

PosRationals$new(zero = FALSE)

Constructor Arguments

Argument	Type	Details
zero = FALSE	logical	If TRUE, zero is included in the set.

Constructor Details

Generally the ... argument should be ignored, its primary use-case is for the child-classes.

Details

The contains method does not work for the set of Rationals as it is notoriously difficult/impossible to find an algorithm for determining if any given number is rational or not. Furthermore, computers must truncate all irrational numbers to rational numbers.
