Function fraction #

Create a fraction or convert a value to a fraction.

With one numeric argument, produces the closest rational approximation to the input. With two arguments, the first is the numerator and the second is the denominator, and creates the corresponding fraction. Both numerator and denominator must be integers. With one object argument, looks for the integer numerator as the value of property ‘n’ and the integer denominator as the value of property ‘d’. With a matrix argument, creates a matrix of the same shape with entries converted into fractions.
