Class Rational

java.lang.Object
  edu.harvard.hul.ois.jhove.Rational

public class Rational
extends java.lang.Object

This class encapsulates a number which is defined as the ratio of two 32-bit unsigned integers, in accordance with the TIFF specification.

Constructor Summary

Rational(int numerator, int denominator)
The arguments to the int constructor are treated as 32-bit unsigned integers.

Rational(long numerator, long denominator)
The arguments to this constructor are long in order to represent all possible 32-bit unsigned integers.

Method Summary

long	getDenominator() Returns the Denominator property.
long	getNumerator() Returns the Numerator property.
double	toDouble() Converts to a floating-point value (numerator/denominator).
long	toLong() Converts to a long value (numerator/denominator).
java.lang.String	toString() Represents the Rational as a String in the form of "numerator/denominator".

Constructor Detail

Rational

public Rational(long numerator,
                long denominator)

The arguments to this constructor are long in order to represent all possible 32-bit unsigned integers. Parameters greater than 2 ^ 32 - 1 are not meaningful.

Parameters:

numerator - numerator of the Rational value

denominator - denominator of the Rational value

Rational

public Rational(int numerator,
                int denominator)

The arguments to the int constructor are treated as 32-bit unsigned integers.

Parameters:

numerator - numerator of the Rational value

denominator - denominator of the Rational value

Method Detail

getNumerator

public long getNumerator()

Returns the Numerator property.

getDenominator

public long getDenominator()

Returns the Denominator property.

toDouble

public double toDouble()

Converts to a floating-point value (numerator/denominator). May throw an ArithmeticException.

toLong

public long toLong()

Converts to a long value (numerator/denominator). May throw an ArithmeticException.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Represents the Rational as a String in the form of "numerator/denominator".

Overrides:
