Using C++: Create a structure Fraction which contains a numerator and a denomina

Question

Using C++:

Create a structure Fraction which contains a numerator and a denominator.

a. Write a function void printFraction(Fraction f)which prints out a fraction in the following format; e.g. if the numerator is 2 and the denominator is 5, it will print out 2/5

b. Write a function Fraction mult(Fraction f1, Fraction f2) which returns a new fraction which is the product of f1 and f2.

c. Write a function Fraction add(Fraction f1, Fraction f2)which returns a new fraction which is the sum of f1 and f2. You may simply multiply each fraction by the other’s denominator to find a common denominator; e.g. (3/4)+(5/6) = (3*6/4*6)+(5*4/6*4) = 38/24. You do NOT have to reduce the fractions.

Explanation / Answer

Code:-

#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

// Declare a fraction (defines an implicit typedef)

struct Fraction
{
    int num;                        // Declare Numerator Variable
    int den;                        // Declare Denominator Variable
};

Fraction add(Fraction a, Fraction b);

Fraction mult(Fraction a, Fraction b);

void printFraction(Fraction a);

int main()
{
   int ans;
    Fraction number[2];
    char c;
    cout << " Enter first fraction in this form numerator/denominator ";
        cin >> number[0].num >> c >> number[0].den; // 1st fraction
    cout << " Enter second fraction in this form numerator/denominator ";
        cin >> number[1].num >> c >> number[1].den;   // 2nd fraction
    printFraction(number[0]);
    printFraction(number[1]);
    cout << "After adding two fractions: "<<endl;
    Fraction result;
    result=add(number[0],number[1]);
    printFraction(result);
    cout << "After multiplying two fractions: "<<endl;
    result=mult(number[0],number[1]);
    printFraction(result);
}

Fraction add(Fraction a,Fraction b)
{

    // Declare ans, the fraction resulting from the operation
    Fraction ans;               
    // Calculate the numerator and denominator of the resulting fraction
    ans.num = (a.num * b.den) + (b.num * a.den);
    ans.den = a.den * b.den;
    // Return the resulting fraction
    return ans;
}

Fraction mult(Fraction a, Fraction b)
{
    // Declare ans, the fraction resulting from the operation
    Fraction ans;               
    // Calculate the numerator and denominator of the resulting fraction
    ans.num = a.num * b.num;
    ans.den = a.den * b.den;
    // Return the resulting fraction
   return ans;
}

void printFraction(Fraction a){
    cout<<"Fraction is :- "<<a.num<<"/"<<a.den<<endl;
}
