Displaying fractions in textbook format in a terminal window (SOLVED.) - Spybot - 04-09-2015 04:56 PM

Hello Everyone!

I'm writing a program that shows fractions as results, I'm using the PRINT(); command to display these results, this command opens up a terminal window showing the results... but fractions are displayed only in algebraic mode, I'd like to show these fractions in textbook format. Is it possible?

Thank you.


Spybot.

Would PRINT(exact (n)); be helpful?

The terminal is really only a single line display thing at this moment so there is not built in the capability you'd like.

Thanks everyone for responding!

Now I get it ! but anyway, it would be nice to have that feature on the Prime too. maybe in a later OS release.
