Section B: PROBLEMS (20 marks)
A fraction in arithmetic is a number numerator divided by a denominator. In a simple fraction,
both are integers. A fraction is proper when the numerator is less than denominator and improper if
numerator is greater than the denominator. Any fraction can be written in decimal form by carrying
out the division of the numerator by the denominator. But in original form it is written “a/b” where a
and b are respectively numerator and denominator. In that original form notation, a fraction should
be in irreducible form mean the GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) of a and b should be 1. If not, the
fraction needs to be simplified. This simplification is done by dividing both numerator and
denominator by the GCD of the 02 numbers.
In this problem, our ambition is to build a calculator of fractions to help first cycle secondary
school students. To achieve the goal, we decide to first of all write a class “Fraction” to model a
fraction with the operation that we can applied on it.
Note: Comment your code to avoid any misunderstanding.
1. Write the python code for the Fraction class with a constructor that allow a user to define a
fraction with string value (such that 2/3) or with 02 integers values . 05 marks
2. Write a public method without argument named “isProper” that return 1 if the “self” fraction is
proper and 0 if not 02 marks
3. Write a private method named “ComputeGCD” without argument that compute the GCD of the
numerator and denominator of a fraction 04 marks
4. Write a public method without argument named “Simplify” which return the simplify version
of the “self” fraction. 02 marks
5. Write a public method without argument named “decimal” that return the decimal value of the
“self” fraction 02 marks
6. Write a public method that take on fraction in argument named “addFraction” and return the
product of this fraction with the “self” fraction. Ensure that the result must be irreducible. 04
marks
7. Write a small code that can be executed to display a window (GUI) with the title “my first
window in python”. In this window, add a text input and a button. 03 marks
