Thread: Help with Ration Program on JAVA

I have to create a program that when used with the test program below should produce the results below. So far I have this please help me. Thank you.

public class Rational {
private int num; // the numerator
private int den; // the denominator

// create and initialize a new Rational object
public Rational(int numerator, int denominator) {
if (denominator == 0) {
throw new RuntimeException("Denominator is zero");
}
int g = gcd(numerator, denominator);
num = numerator / g;
den = denominator / g;

}

// return string representation of (this)
public String toString() {
if (den == 1) { return num + ""; }
else { return num + "/" + den; }
}

// return (this * b)
public Rational times(Rational b) {
return new Rational(this.num * b.num, this.den * b.den);
}


// return (this + b)
public Rational plus(Rational b) {
int numerator = (this.num * b.den) + (this.den * b.num);
int denominator = this.den * b.den;
return new Rational(numerator, denominator);
}

// return (1 / this)
public Rational reciprocal() { return new Rational(den, num); }

// return (this / b)
public Rational divides(Rational b) {
return this.times(b.reciprocal());
}


/************************************************** ***********************

// return gcd(m, n)
private static int gcd(int m, int n) {
if (0 == n) return m;
else return gcd(n, m % n);
}
