Are there any Ada95 examples in books or on the web that implement the
exact rational number data type with overloading of all appropriate
arithmetic operations and conversion to and from other number types, all
in Ada95 without anything relating to the platform it will run on? It
goes without saying that it is too difficult to predict the number of
digits that the numerator and denominator need to have, so, available
memory should be the only limit to their size.
