What does it do?
Converts numbers from decimal to fraction representation. Can convert single
numbers, or proccess a stream.
How do I use it?
There are two options for this tool:
- In the first, you put a number in the empty hole, and give the box to the robot. This is mainly useful if you want to understand how the conversion is done.
- In the second, give any number to the in bird, and it will be converted
to a fraction. The result is also copied out to the out nest.
How does it work?
The robot types a "=" over the incoming number, and drops it on a fraction.
Then it copies the result to a bird.
What can I use it for?
Converting various numbers to fractions. You can also chain it to a stream
of numbers, to convert them all to fractions.
