CS210 Lab: Software Engineering Principles Postlab

Postlab Exercise:

We have decided to change the specifications. We would like to be able to store a fraction in its proper or improper form. In it's proper form, it should be reduced. When a number is converted to proper form, the whole number should be stored. We should also allow the conversion from improper to proper and from proper to improper. However, we will assume that the input remains in numerator/denominator format.

To summarize, we will have data members:

• num
• denom
• whole

• Initialize-- takes two integer values and stores them in num and denom
• NumeratorIs-- returns the value of num
• DenominatorIs-- returns the value of denom
• Reduced-- checks whether the numerator and denominator have a common factor and, if they do, divides both by the common factor. Stores the result in num and denom.
• IsZero-- tests whether the fraction is zero. A fraction is zero if the numerator is zero and the denominator is 1.
• IsNotProper-- tests if the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator.
• ConvertToProper-- reduces the fraction, and stores the whole-number part and leaves the remaining part in the fraction.
• ConvertToImproper-- converts the whole number back into a fraction. Whole will be 0 and fraction will be the reduced improper form.

To Do:

1. Implement this as code.
2. Develop a test plan for the modified ConvertToProper and the new ConvertToImproper member functions
