Each of the alias templates ratio_add, ratio_subtract, ratio_multiply, and ratio_divide denotes the result of an arithmetic computation on two ratios R1 and R2. With X and Y computed (in the absence of arithmetic overflow) as specified by Table 51, each alias denotes a ratio<U, V> such that U is the same as ratio<X, Y>::num and V is the same as ratio<X, Y>::den.
If it is not possible to represent U or V with intmax_t, the program is ill-formed. Otherwise, an implementation should yield correct values of U and V. If it is not possible to represent X or Y with intmax_t, the program is ill-formed unless the implementation yields correct values of U and V.
Type | Value of X | Value of Y |
ratio_add<R1, R2> | R1::num * R2::den + | R1::den * R2::den |
R2::num * R1::den | ||
ratio_subtract<R1, R2> | R1::num * R2::den - | R1::den * R2::den |
R2::num * R1::den | ||
ratio_multiply<R1, R2> | R1::num * R2::num | R1::den * R2::den |
ratio_divide<R1, R2> | R1::num * R2::den | R1::den * R2::num |
[ Example:
static_assert(ratio_add<ratio<1, 3>, ratio<1, 6>>::num == 1, "1/3+1/6 == 1/2");
static_assert(ratio_add<ratio<1, 3>, ratio<1, 6>>::den == 2, "1/3+1/6 == 1/2");
static_assert(ratio_multiply<ratio<1, 3>, ratio<3, 2>>::num == 1, "1/3*3/2 == 1/2");
static_assert(ratio_multiply<ratio<1, 3>, ratio<3, 2>>::den == 2, "1/3*3/2 == 1/2");
// The following cases may cause the program to be ill-formed under some implementations
static_assert(ratio_add<ratio<1, INT_MAX>, ratio<1, INT_MAX>>::num == 2,
"1/MAX+1/MAX == 2/MAX");
static_assert(ratio_add<ratio<1, INT_MAX>, ratio<1, INT_MAX>>::den == INT_MAX,
"1/MAX+1/MAX == 2/MAX");
static_assert(ratio_multiply<ratio<1, INT_MAX>, ratio<INT_MAX, 2>>::num == 1,
"1/MAX * MAX/2 == 1/2");
static_assert(ratio_multiply<ratio<1, INT_MAX>, ratio<INT_MAX, 2>>::den == 2,
"1/MAX * MAX/2 == 1/2");
