☁️ Inspiration

Being able to do calculations on the go is important. While some might say using a calculator is very easy, calculators don't have fraction functions, though they have advanced sin, cos, and tan functions. This application aims to change that.

🚧 What It Does

This command line application allows people to execute fraction functions on the go. It has various utilities such as:

• Fraction Adder
• Fraction Subtractor
• Fraction Multiplier
• Fraction Divider
• Fraction Simplifier
• Fraction to Decimal Converter
• Same Repeating Decimal to Fraction Converter

👨🏾‍💻 How We Built It

I used Python/Replit for the application. For the actual "brains" of it, I used Matlab. Matlab's python interface was easy to use, and once I set up an engine, it was easy to continue programming. I used Matlab a lot in this project, and really liked it.

👷 Challenges We Ran Into

As with any new thing, I ran into some challenges setting up Matlab. I'd never done complex calculations before, but Matlab made it easy once I figured out how to initialize an engine and start executing equations.

🎉 Accomplishments That We're Proud Of

We actually finished the app...yay! On a serious note, I am incredibly proud to have learned Matlab. Matlab will help me build better applications because I can compute complex equations and graphs easily.

📙 What We Learned

• matlab
• Matlab
• MATLAB I learned a lot of Matlab programming in this project. I also like Matlab's .mxl syntax.

🔜 What's Next For Fraction Functions

• Better User Interface
• Web Interface
• Twilio Chat Bot
• API

💻 Unfortunately, I was only able to export the python file, not the Matlab .mxl file, so there is only one python file in the git repo.
