can someone help me with this questions, i am really confused.



5.Write a program that inputs two fractions in the form a/b and c/d, and outputs their sum in the form p / q cancelled down to its simplest form. This should continue until the user types in an exit command of your choice.

Sample run: Input: 5/6 1/10
Output: 14/15

You need to get two different fractions with different bases and output their sum so make the denominator the same then add the numerator

Post some code or a specific part you are having trouble with

[nigana]

var num1,dem1,num2,dem2:int
loop
put "please enter the number of the first fraction: "..
get num1
put "please enter the denominator of the first fraction: "..
get dem1
put "please enter the number of the second fraction: "..
get num2
put "please enter the number of the second fraction: "..
get dem2

if dem1 not=dem2 then
var dem:int:=dem1*dem2
var num3:int:=dem2*num1
var num4:int:=num2*dem1
put num3+num4,"/",dem
elsif dem1=dem2 then
var num5:int:=num1+num2
put num5,"/",dem1
end if
end loop

how do we simply the answer can you give us the code plz!!

You won't be given the code

Also try not to declare variables in loop the computer will keep making new variables with the same name and not be able to access the previous one so just declare before the loop and change the value inside the loop

also use [syntax="turing"]%code[/syntax ]
