Subject: [ruby-core:23899] [Bug #1640] [PATCH] Documentation for the Rational Class

Issue #1640 has been updated by tadayoshi funaba.


thanks for your patch.  i felt it is good on the whole.

i have some requests and hits.

should not use float on the description of divmod.
divmod = div + modulo.
div and modulo relate to floor, remainder relate to truncate.
to_i is the alias of truncate.
floor, ceil and truncate can accept an extra argument, not only round.

no need full explanation for regular method hash, i think.

Rational() can also accept float, string and rational.
0.9, "1", "1/2", "0.3", "10e3", etc.
to_r also, but never raise exception of parser error.

we never write:
Integer("2") #=> Integer(2)

i like:
Rational(1,2) #=> 1/2
or
Rational(1,2) #=> (1/2)

they are less distracting to read, i felt.

so, could you re-edit it?
or i'll modify it if you don't mind.
