Create a fractions matrix

Question

I'm trying to create a fractions matrix. First, i create a class Matrix, and define methods, like create a new matrix, delete matrix, solve a matrix (Gauss and Gauss-Jordan method). All the values on the matrix are float. I compile all and works :D. But now, I'm trying to create another matrix, exactly equals to the first, but this need to be only for fractions. This is my problem, how i do this? how i create a method that receives 2 number (for example: myMethod(2,3)), regards these like 2/3 and puts in a matrix position? My goal is have something like that:

Matrix:

1/2   2/3   1/5

2/5   3/4   3/2

2/7   3/5   1/3

All the numbers will be sent by the user, for example, cin>>n1>>n2; (Actually this is n1/n2)

PD: i was thinking on create a for loop like:

for(i=0;i<3;i++)
    myMethod(n1,n2);

PD2: Sorry for my english, i hope you understand me :(

Answer 1

template <typename NumberType>
class Matrix {
   // ...
}:

And think about mathematical operations on each supported number type.

Answer 2

As far as I understand, c++ cannot handle fractions natively. the best you could do is float. Alternatively, if you just would like to display the Matrix as a fraction (and maybe do some operations on it), you could do something like the following.

Mat numerator[3][3];
Mat denominator[3][3];
cin>>numerator[0][0]>>denominator[0][0];
//.... for all elements

//Display
cout<<numerator[0][0]<<"/"<<denominator[0][0];

//operations
newmatrix[0][0] = numerator1[0][0]*numerator2[0][0] / (denominator1[0][0]*denominator1[0][0]);

Hope this helps.
