Rational Number

The document describes a Java class named RationalNumber that represents rational numbers with a numerator (p) and a denominator (q). It includes constructors for initializing these values, methods for printing the rational number, calculating its decimal value, simplifying it, and finding its reciprocal. The class also contains example outputs for each method to demonstrate functionality.
