# Standard library header <ratio>

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | header

This header is part of the compile-time rational arithmetic library.

### Classes

ratio | represents exact rational fraction (class template)

##### Arithmetic

ratio_add (C++11) | adds two `ratio` objects at compile-time (alias template)
ratio_subtract (C++11) | subtracts two `ratio` objects at compile-time (alias template)
ratio_multiply (C++11) | multiplies two `ratio` objects at compile-time (alias template)
ratio_divide (C++11) | divides two `ratio` objects at compile-time (alias template)

##### Comparison

ratio_equal (C++11) | compares two `ratio` objects for equality at compile-time (class template)
ratio_not_equal (C++11) | compares two `ratio` objects for inequality at compile-time (class template)
ratio_less (C++11) | compares two `ratio` objects for less than at compile-time (class template)
ratio_less_equal (C++11) | compares two `ratio` objects for less than or equal to at compile-time (class template)
ratio_greater (C++11) | compares two `ratio` objects for greater than at compile-time (class template)
ratio_greater_equal (C++11) | compares two `ratio` objects for greater than or equal to at compile-time (class template)
