## Classes
class | CGAL::Rational_traits< NT >
| The class `Rational_traits` can be used to determine the type of the numerator and denominator of a rational number type as `Quotient`, `Gmpq`, `mpq_class` or `leda_rational`. More...

## Functions
template<typename Rational >
Rational | CGAL::simplest_rational_in_interval (double d1, double d2)
| computes the rational number with the smallest denominator in the interval `[d1,d2]`.
template<typename Rational >
Rational | CGAL::to_rational (double d)
| computes the rational number that equals `d`.

## ◆ simplest_rational_in_interval()

template<typename Rational >

Rational CGAL::simplest_rational_in_interval | ( | double | d1,
|  | double | d2
| ) |  |

`#include <CGAL/simplest_rational_in_interval.h>`

computes the rational number with the smallest denominator in the interval `[d1,d2]`.

Computes the simplest rational number in an interval of two `double` values.

Implementation
