PROGRAM EXPLANATION

Algorithm and explanation

  1. Import the required standard-library tools and prepare the sample data for add rational fractions.
  2. Apply Fraction and Rational number to compute the required result.
  3. Display the result for add rational fractions and compare it with the documented sample output.

This example of add rational fractions computes the result directly from the prepared sample data. It demonstrates Fraction and Rational number and prints a deterministic result that can be checked against the sample output.

DEBUGGING CHECKLIST

Common mistakes

Check this

For add rational fractions, keep the data shape and value types consistent with Fraction.

Check this

Apply Fraction in the same order shown by the algorithm; changing the order can change the result.

Check this

Verify the final Fraction and Rational number result against the sample before trying new data.

Try it yourself

Practice: Run the program with the sample input, predict its output, and then test one boundary case of your own.
