[🏆 Challenge 🏆]:: Non-Terminating decimal converter🔢🏆🚨💡⚠🎮

Write a code to accept a non-terminating decimal followed by an underscore as the input and simplify it in the form of a fraction. Like 0.333333... is a non-terminating decimal with its simplified fraction being 1/3. Eg: Input-> 0.(3)_ Output->1/3 Input->0.(142857)_ Output-> 1/7 Input-> 0.(9)_ Output-> 1 Input-> 0.(2)_ Output-> 2/9 Hope you understood the question.

Here's my C# implementation! ✌ Sorry for late to the party! To be honest I feel my code is extremely lengthy compared to the submissions here but I've done my best. Again, thanks for another interesting Maths challenge! Enjoy~ ❤ https://code.sololearn.com/cUhmHfZOjLwr/?ref=app

@sayan yes I saw but who will simply the fraction? eg- I input 0.(142857)_ then it outputs 142857/999999 but, who will further simplify it ? i.e., 1/7 ?

This challenge gave me a headache. I thought is was my code but I found out the problem was the floating point calculations.😥😧😵😵 But I learned a lot. Anyways, here is my try. Please check for any errors. Thanks for the challenge.😊 PS: I think the underscore is unnecessary. https://code.sololearn.com/WdyBVan0wzst/?ref=app

@VcC correct but didn't properly understand the question. Your program takes 0.142857_ as 0.1428577777777.... while it should take it as 0.142857142858142857142857....

@sayan you can also simplify the fraction! :D

Swappi, normally I should not use fractions. But I only used gcd. That was ok for me. So here is Python: https://code.sololearn.com/cg6rvMbEqw03

@VcC you are correct. But I think it would be better like 123.456223{223}.

@sayan is right. Problem statement unclear. You need a different way to input repetition like 123.456{223} to separate repeating and non repeating numbers....

AND EXACTLY I DID THAT @ VCC @ SWAPNIL input : 45.67(89) means 45.678989898989.... 7.000(5) means 7.00055555555555.... got it?????? now here comes the legendary ONE LINER https://code.sololearn.com/cU3xJ7EPDCjT/?ref=app

I think you mean 'non-terminating'.
