With Rational<BigInt> values, incorrect infinities or NaNs or zeroes are returned for doubleValue when the numerators or denominator or both are too large themselves to fit inside a Double, even when the values themselves fit.
It would be great to document this behavior or even to correct for it.
Example test program:
import Foundation
import NumberKit
var x: Rational<BigInt> = 1
while true {
print("\(x)")
print("numerator.doubleValue = \(x.numerator.doubleValue)")
print("denominator.doubleValue = \(x.denominator.doubleValue)")
print("doubleValue = \(x.doubleValue)")
if x.doubleValue.isNaN {
break
}
x *= 101
x /= 100
print()
}
