Compile-time rational arithmetic

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | numeric

The class template std::ratio and associated templates provide compile-time rational arithmetic support. Each instantiation of this template exactly represents any finite rational number.

[edit] Compile-time fractions

Defined in header <ratio>
represents exact rational fraction
(class template)

Several convenience typedefs that correspond to the SI ratios are provided by the standard library:

[edit] Compile-time rational arithmetic

Several alias templates, that perform arithmetic operations on ratio objects at compile-time are provided.

Defined in header <ratio>
(C++11)
adds two ratio objects at compile-time
(alias template)
subtracts two ratio objects at compile-time
(alias template)
multiplies two ratio objects at compile-time
(alias template)
(C++11)
divides two ratio objects at compile-time
(alias template)

[edit] Compile-time rational comparison

Several class templates, that perform comparison operations on ratio objects at compile-time are provided.

Defined in header <ratio>
(C++11)
compares two ratio objects for equality at compile-time
(class template)
compares two ratio objects for inequality at compile-time
(class template)
(C++11)
compares two ratio objects for less than at compile-time
(class template)
compares two ratio objects for less than or equal to at compile-time
(class template)
compares two ratio objects for greater than at compile-time
(class template)
compares two ratio objects for greater than or equal to at compile-time
(class template)
