Hi programmers what the condition to sum the fraction number

Question

1/2+1/3=5/6

Answer 1

Well you if a decimal approximation is good enough you can convert the fractions​to floating​ point numbers first. Then add them.

If you need the fraction answer you can convert back by multiplying by different numbers until you get an integer. You allow for a tolerance like 1% or 0.01% etc. This because Floating​ point is an​ approximation​, and recurring decimals don't always multiply up correctly.

If you want an easy error resistant to add fractions​, then you can make your​ own data type, probably implemented​ as a class.

Or you could see if there is a library available to do this already. I suggest boost rational:
