Re: Proper fractions?

Hi, please explain why it's wrong when one can define their own method to print an instance of a class. Second, a
 fraction is the ratio of two whole numbers, or to put it simply, one whole number divided by another whole number.  Thus, the implementation of class Fraction is in sync with the definition.

Well, first of all, it's odd because it's wrong. Bert showed a perfectly
good way to do what I want.

Second of all, I wouldn't deign to compare Squeak to those other, lesser
languages. ;-)
