Detailed Description

RTE Rational Approximation

Given a rational number alpha with 0 < alpha < 1 and a precision d, the goal is to find positive integers p, q such that alpha - d < p/q < alpha + d, and q is minimal.

rte_approx()

int rte_approx	(	double	alpha,
		double	d,
		uint32_t *	p,
		uint32_t *	q
	)

Find best rational approximation

Parameters

alpha	Rational number to approximate
d	Precision for the rational approximation
p	Pointer to pre-allocated space where the numerator of the rational approximation will be stored when operation is successful
q	Pointer to pre-allocated space where the denominator of the rational approximation will be stored when operation is successful

Returns

0 upon success, error code otherwise
