Example #1 :

# Ruby code for BigDecimal.to_r() method

# loading library
require 'bigdecimal'
require 'bigdecimal/util'

# declaring bigdecimal
a = BigDecimal("10")

# declaring bigdecimal
b = -BigDecimal("10")

# declaring bigdecimal
c = -BigDecimal("11.43")

# to_r() method
puts "BigDecimal a to_r method : #{a.to_r()}\n\n"

puts "BigDecimal b to_r method : #{b.to_r()}\n\n"

puts "BigDecimal c to_r method : #{c.to_r()}\n\n"

Output :

BigDecimal a to_r method : 10/1

BigDecimal b to_r method : -10/1

BigDecimal c to_r method : -1143/100

Example #2 :

# Ruby code for BigDecimal.to_r() method

# loading library
require 'bigdecimal'
require 'bigdecimal/util'

# declaring bigdecimal
a = BigDecimal('12')*12

# declaring bigdecimal
b = BigDecimal('10')-(22 ** 7.1) ** 10

# declaring bigdecimal
c = BigDecimal('-3')

# to_r() method
puts "BigDecimal a to_r method : #{a.to_r()}\n\n"

puts "BigDecimal b to_r method : #{b.to_r()}\n\n"

puts "BigDecimal c to_r method : #{c.to_r()}\n\n"

Output :

BigDecimal a to_r method : 144/1
BigDecimal b to_r method : -205121100730586399999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999990/1
BigDecimal c to_r method : -3/1
