numeral¶ ↑

Numeral parses natural language numbers like ‘three’ and ‘1/3’ to ruby Rational numbers. It is ideally suited to applications where user input is integer or fraction oriented. For example:

include Numeral parse_num(‘1/3’) + parse_num(‘two’) + parse_num(‘2/3’) == 3

Numeral will also gracefully handle floating point numbers such as ‘.5’ and ‘3.14’ as well as regular integer values.

Note on Patches/Pull Requests¶ ↑

  • Fork the project.

  • Make your feature addition or bug fix.

  • Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

  • Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)

  • Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
