39 * Rational number calculation.
40 *
41 * While rational numbers can be expressed as floating-point numbers, the
42 * conversion process is a lossy one, so are floating-point operations. On the
43 * other hand, the nature of FFmpeg demands highly accurate calculation of
44 * timestamps. This set of rational number utilities serves as a generic
45 * interface for manipulating rational numbers as pairs of numerators and
46 * denominators.
47 *
48 * Many of the functions that operate on AVRational's have the suffix `_q`, in
49 * reference to the mathematical symbol "ℚ" (Q) which denotes the set of all
50 * rational numbers.
