<ratio>

Include the standard header <ratio> to define constants and templates that are used to store and manipulate rational numbers at compile time.

Syntax

#include <ratio>

ratio Template

template<std::intmax_t Numerator, std::intmax_t Denominator = 1>
struct ratio // holds the ratio of Numerator to Denominator
{
   static constexpr std::intmax_t num;
   static constexpr std::intmax_t den;
   typedef ratio<num, den> type;
}

The template ratio defines the static constants num and den such that num / den == Numerator / Denominator and num and den have no common factors. num / den is the value that is represented by the class template. Therefore, type designates the instantiation ratio<num, den>.

Specializations

<ratio> also defines specializations of ratio that have the following form.

template <class R1, class R2> struct ratio_specialization

Each specialization takes two template parameters that must also be specializations of ratio. The value of type is determined by an associated logical operation.

Name type Value
ratio_add R1 + R2
ratio_divide R1 / R2
ratio_equal R1 == R2
ratio_greater R1 > R2
ratio_greater_equal R1 >= R2
ratio_less R1 < R2
ratio_less_equal R1 <= R2
ratio_multiply R1 * R2
ratio_not_equal !(R1 == R2)
ratio_subtract R1 - R2

typedefs

For convenience, the header defines ratios for the standard SI prefixes:

typedef ratio<1, 1000000000000000000> atto;
typedef ratio<1, 1000000000000000> femto;
typedef ratio<1, 1000000000000> pico;
typedef ratio<1, 1000000000> nano;
typedef ratio<1, 1000000> micro;
typedef ratio<1, 1000> milli;
typedef ratio<1, 100> centi;
typedef ratio<1, 10> deci;
typedef ratio<10, 1> deca;
typedef ratio<100, 1> hecto;
typedef ratio<1000, 1> kilo;
typedef ratio<1000000, 1> mega;
typedef ratio<1000000000, 1> giga;
typedef ratio<1000000000000, 1> tera;
typedef ratio<1000000000000000, 1> peta;
typedef ratio<1000000000000000000, 1> exa;
