Question

In C++

Create a class called Rational (separate the files as shown in the chapter) for performing arithmetic with fractions. Write a program to test your class. Use integer variables to represent the private data of the class-the numerator and the denominator. Provide a constructor that enables an object of this class to be initialized when it's declared. The constructor should contain default values in case no initializers are provided and should store the fraction in reduced form. For example, the fraction 2/4 would be stored in the object as 1 in the numerator and 2 in the denominator. Provide public member functions that perform each of the following tasks: add - Adds two Rational numbers. The result should be stored in reduced form. subtract - Subtracts two Rational numbers. Store the result in reduced form. multiply - Multiples two Rational numbers. Store the result in reduced form. divide - Divides two Rational numbers. The result should be stored in reduced form. (toRationalString) - Returns a string representation of a Rational number in the form a/b, where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. display - Display the Rational number a/b. toDouble - Returns the Rational number as a double. (make sure the driver tests out all the functions)

1. add - Adds two Rational numbers. The result should be stored in reduced form.
2. subtract - Subtracts two Rational numbers. Store the result in reduced form.
3. multiply - Multiples two Rational numbers. Store the result in reduced form.
4. divide - Divides two Rational numbers. The result should be stored in reduced form.
5. (toRationalString) - Returns a string representation of a Rational number in the form a/b, where a is the numerator and b is the denominator.
6. display - Display the Rational number a/b.
7. toDouble - Returns the Rational number as a double.

(make sure the driver tests out all the functions)

Dear Student, i have spent lot of time on it, so if you got something from it, then please give an Upvote. Thank You
