Hi,
has someone experience which routine should be used for creating
fractional numbers? The two conversion routines deliver different results
> x <- (0:7)/7
> MASS::fractions(x)
[1] 0 1/7 2/7 3/7 4/7 5/7 6/7 1
> gmp::as.bigq(x)
Big Rational ('bigq') object of length 8:
[1] 0
2573485501354569/18014398509481984 2573485501354569/9007199254740992
[4] 7720456504063707/18014398509481984 2573485501354569/4503599627370496
6433713753386423/9007199254740992
[7] 7720456504063707/9007199254740992 1
Following the example I would compute my fractional numbers with
MASS::fractions and store them for further processing as Big Rational.
Thanks Sigbert
