Question

Solve this problem with using "If statement", solve both problems in one programme.

1.Write a program that reads and stores the numerators and denomina-
tors of two fractions as integer values. For example, if the numbers 1
and 4 are entered for the first fraction, the fraction is 1/4, The program
should print the product of the two fractions as a fraction and as a dec-
imal value. For example, 1/4 * 1/2 = 1/8 or 0.125.
2.Redo Programming Project 6-but this time compute the sum of the
two fractions.

Explanation / Answer

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
   //PROTOTYPES
   void simplify(int&, int&);

   //LOCAL DECLARATIONS
   int a1, b1, a2, b2;
   int nu, de;

   //PROCEDURES
   cout << "(separate numerator and denominator with space)" << endl;
   cout << "Enter first fraction: ";
   cin >> a1 >> b1;
   cout << "Enter second fraction: ";
   cin >> a2 >> b2;

   //Multiplication
   cout << a1 << "/" << b1 << " * "
        << a2 << "/" << b2;
   nu = a1 * a2;
   de = b1 * b2;
   simplify(nu, de);
   cout << " = " << nu << "/" << de
        << " = " << (double) nu / de << endl;

   //Addition
   cout << a1 << "/" << b1 << " + "
        << a2 << "/" << b2;
   nu = a1 * b2 + a2 * b1;
   de = b1 * b2;
   simplify(nu, de);
   cout << " = " << nu << "/" << de
        << " = " << (double) nu / de << endl;

   cout << endl;
   cin.sync();
   cin.get();
   return 0;
}
