Rationals: Set of Rational Numbers

Description

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

Value

An R6 object of class Rationals.

Constructor

Rationals$new(...)

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.
