std::ratio

From cppreference.com
Defined in header <ratio>
template<

    std::intmax_t Num,
    std::intmax_t Denom = 1

> class ratio;
(since C++11)

The class template std::ratio provides compile-time rational arithmetic support. Each instantiation of this template exactly represents any finite rational number as long as its numerator Num and denominator Denom are representable as compile-time constants of type std::intmax_t. In addition, Denom may not be zero and may not be equal to the most negative value. Both numerator and denominator are automatically reduced to the lowest terms.

Several convenience typedefs that correspond to the SI ratios are provided by the standard library:

[edit] Template parameters

Num - defines the numerator of the ratio
Denom - defines the denominator of the ratio. It cannot be equal to 0 or the most negative value of std::intmax_t
