Every rational number can be represented as either a terminating or repeating decimal.
1/2 = 0.5, 1/4 = 0.25 and 1/5 = 0.2 are examples of terminating decimals.
And, 1/3 = 0.(3), 2/3 = 0.(6), 5/6 = 0.8(3) and 3/7 = 0.(428571) are examples of repeating decimals.
Write a function, toDecimalString : Rational -> String, that outputs the decimal representation of a given rational number.
Your function MUST pass the following tests:
toDecimalStringSuite : Test
toDecimalStringSuite =
describe "toDecimalString" <|
[ terminatingDecimalSuite
, repeatingDecimalSuite
]
terminatingDecimalSuite : Test
terminatingDecimalSuite =
describe "terminating decimals" <|
