我有两个部分我喜欢比较。它们存储这样的:
I have two fractions I like to compare. They are stored like this:
struct fraction {
int64_t numerator;
int64_t denominator;
};
目前,我对它们进行比较是这样的:
Currently, I compare them like this:
bool fraction_le(struct fraction a, struct fraction b)
{
return a.numerator * b.denominator < b.numerator * a.denominator;
}
这工作得很好,除了(64位值)*(64位值)=(128位值)
,这意味着它会溢出的分子和分母的太远离零。
That works fine, except that (64 bit value) * (64 bit value) = (128 bit value)
, which means it will overflow for numerators and denominators that are too far away from zero.
我怎样才能作出比较总是工作,甚至荒唐的分数?
How can I make the comparison always works, even for absurd fractions?
喔,并顺便:馏分始终存储简化,并且仅分子可以是负的。也许这输入约束使一些算法可以...
Oh, and by the way: fractions are always stored simplified, and only the numerator can be negative. Maybe that input constraint makes some algorithm possible...
如果你正在使用gcc,你可以使用__int128。
If you are using GCC, you can use __int128.
