JAVA FRACTIONS QUESTION:

You will create a Fraction class in Java to represent fractions and to do fraction arithmetic. To get you used to the idea of unit testing, this homework does not require a main method. You can create one if you find it useful, however, we will not be grading or even looking at that code. You should be comfortable enough with the accuracy of your test cases that you do not need to use print statements or a main method to even do ad hoc “testing” of your Fraction class.

The .java template can be found here: https://gofile.io/d/iW4eGp

Steps to Follow for this question
1. Read through this entire document without opening Eclipse
2. In Eclipse, create a new project called HW7_CIT591, then create a package in the src folder called “fraction”. Create a new class in the “fraction” package named Fraction.java, and fill it with empty stubs of the methods you will write later. See the Writing Method Stubs instructions on page 5.
3. Import the provided SampleFractionTest.java into your Java project and run the tests -- all tests should fail (for now)!
4. Implement enough code in the methods in Fraction.java to pass all tests.
5. Use pen and paper (or an electronic document) to generate a list of additional test cases you will use for each method in the Fraction class. You should have a total of at least 4 distinct and valid test scenarios (with individual test cases) per method (including the ones provided).
6. Create a second testing class file named FractionTest.java and write all of the additional test cases you generated in step 5. See the Writing Unit Tests instructions on page 7.
7. Update your implementation in the methods in Fraction.java to pass all additional tests.
a. If something fails:
i. Make sure all test cases are valid
ii. Fix any mistakes in your implementation

iii. Re-run the test file
iv. Repeat these steps until all tests pass
8. Re-run both test files to make sure all tests pass

A fraction is a number of the form numerator/denominator where the numerator and denominator are integers. The denominator cannot be 0. You may assume that no user will input a denominator of 0. The Fraction class needs to have two instance variables: numerator and denominator. The methods in this class are below. They have been provided with their method signatures.
public Fraction(int numerator, int denominator)
● The constructor to create a Fraction with the given numerator and denominator.
● The constructor should set the numerator and denominator instance variables in the Fraction class.
● The constructor should also properly format negative fractions. The convention is that negative fractions have the negative in the numerator.
● For example:
o Creating a new Fraction(4, 16) would set the numerator to 4 and the denominator to 16
o Creating a new Fraction(4, -16) would set the numerator to -4 and the denominator to 16
o Creating a new Fraction(-1, -2) would set the numerator to 1 and the denominator to 2
public void reduceToLowestForm()
● Reduce the current fraction by eliminating common factors.
● That is, turn a fraction like 4/16 into 1/4 and a fraction like 320/240 into 4/3.
● Remember, the convention is that negative fractions have the negative in the numerator.
● For example:
o A fraction like 4/16 would reduce to 1/4
o A fraction like 10/-15 would reduce to -2/3
o The reduced form of any fraction that represents 0 is 0/1
▪ e.g. 0/4 reduces to 0/1

public Fraction add(Fraction otherFraction)

Add the current fraction to the given otherFraction.
● Returns a new Fraction that is the sum of the two Fractions.
● The returned Fraction must be in reduced/lowest form.
● For example:
o Adding the fraction 3/5 to the fraction 1/4 reduces to 17/20
o Adding the fraction -1/2 to the fraction 2/-3 reduces to -7/6

public Fraction subtract(Fraction otherFraction)
● Subtract the given otherFraction from the current fraction.
● That is, thisFraction - otherFraction.
● Returns a new Fraction that is the difference of the two Fractions.
● The returned Fraction must be in reduced/lowest form.
● For example:
o Subtracting the fraction 3/9 from the fraction 5/9 reduces to 2/9
o Subtracting the fraction 5/16 from the fraction 4/16 reduces to -1/16
public Fraction mul(Fraction otherFraction)
● Multiply the current fraction by the given otherFraction.
● Returns a new Fraction that is the product of this fraction and the otherFraction.
● The returned Fraction must be in reduced/lowest form.
● For example:
o Multiplying the fraction 1/2 by the fraction 2/3 reduces to 1/3
public Fraction div(Fraction otherFraction)
● Divide the current fraction by the given otherFraction.
● That is, thisFraction / otherFraction.
● Returns a new Fraction that is the quotient of this fraction and the otherFraction.
● The returned Fraction must be in reduced/lowest form.
● For example:
o Dividing the fraction 4/16 by the fraction 5/16 reduces to 4/5
public double decimal()
● Return this fraction in decimal form.
● For example:
o For the fraction 2/4, this method should return the value 0.5
o For the fraction 1/3, this method should return the approximate value 0.3333333333333333
▪ Note, to unit test double values like this, use assertEquals with a delta (see the lecture slides on Comparing Floating Point Types)

public void sqr()

● Square the current fraction.
● This method modifies the current fraction and reduces it to lowest form.
● For example:
o A fraction like 2/3 will become 4/9
o A fraction like 4/16 will become 1/16
public Fraction average(Fraction otherFraction)
● Average the current fraction with the given otherFraction.
● Return a new Fraction that is the average of this fraction and the otherFraction.
● The returned Fraction must be in reduced/lowest form.
● For example:
o Averaging the fraction 5/8 with the fraction -12/16 reduces to -1/16
public static Fraction average(Fraction[] fractions)
● Static method to average all of the fractions in the given array.
o Note, you don’t need to create an instance of the Fraction class in order to call a static method
o For example, you should be able to call this method with the class name (note upper-case in “Fraction”)
Fraction f = Fraction.average(myArrayOfFractions);
● Do not include the current fraction in the average.
● Return the average of the array.
● The returned Fraction must be in reduced/lowest form.
● If the array is empty, return a new Fraction that equals 0. That is 0/1.
● For example:
o The average of the fractions 3/4, 3/5, and 3/6 reduces to 37/60
public static Fraction average(int[] ints)
● Static method to average all the integers in the given array.
o Again, you don’t need to create an instance of the Fraction class in order to call a static method
o For example, you should be able to call this method with the class name (note upper-case in “Fraction”)
Fraction f = Fraction.average(myArrayOfInts);
● Do not include the current fraction in the average.
● Return the average of the array as a new Fraction.

● The returned Fraction must be in reduced/lowest form.
● If the array is empty, return a new Fraction that equals 0. That is 0/1.
● For example:
o The average of the ints 1, 2, 3, and 4 reduces to 5/2
@Override
public boolean equals(Object object)
● Overriden method to compare the given object (as a fraction) to the current fraction, for equality. (See the lecture slides on Testing for Equality)
● Two fractions are considered equal if they have the same numerator and same denominator, after eliminating common factors.
● This method does not (permanently) reduce the current fraction to lowest form.
● For example:
o The fraction 2/3 is equal to the fraction 2/3
o The fraction 4/16 is equal to the fraction 1/4, but the fraction 4/16 is not reduced to lowest form.

@Override
public String toString()
● Overriden method to return a string representation of the current fraction.
● A fraction like 2/3 will be represented in string form as “2/3”.
● There is a no whitespace in this string.
● If the fraction is negative, it will be expressed as “-2/3”, not “2/-3”.
Tip: You are always encouraged to write additional helper methods! We highly recommend that if you write helper methods, you test them.

Please submit all your Java classes to Codio. Make sure it is all put in the “src” folder. Included should be 3 files: your Fraction.java, your FractionTest.java, and our SampleFractionTest.java.

Hi, I hope this helps. Sorry, one method is not there in this code. public static Fraction average(Fraction[] fractions), this method. This method is also like the other static method. I am sure by going through that method you will be able to understand how to do this method. Still, if there is any prob, please let me know.
