Essential Maths go library
Floats to rationals relies on Continued Fraction.
It's sometimes more appropriate than default big.Rat SetString, because
you can get 2/3 from 0.6666 by specifiing required precision. In big.Rat SetString
you can only get 3333/50000, and have no way to manipulate than (as of go 1.11).
func ExampleNewRatP() {
fmt.Println(NewRatP(0.6666, 0.01).String())
fmt.Println(NewRatP(0.981, 0.001).String())
fmt.Println(NewRatP(0.75, 0.01).String())
// Output:
// 2/3
// 981/1000
// 3/4
}func ExampleNewRatI() {
fmt.Println(NewRatI(0.6667, 3).String())
fmt.Println(NewRatI(0.6667, 4).String())
// Output:
// 2/3
// 6667/10000

func NewRatI(val float64, iterations int64) *big.RatNewRatI returns rational from decimal using iterations number of
iterations in Continued Fraction algorythm
func NewRatP(val float64, stepPrecision float64) *big.RatNewRatP returns rational from decimal by going as mush iterations, until
next fraction is less than stepPrecision
