Constructor Detail

### BigFractionField

    private BigFractionField()

  Private constructor for the singleton.

Method Detail

### getInstance

    public static BigFractionField getInstance()

  Get the unique instance.

  Returns:
    the unique instance

### getOne

    public BigFraction getOne()

  Get the multiplicative identity of the field.

  The multiplicative identity is the element e1 of the field such that for all elements a of the field, the equalities a × e1 = e1 × a = a hold.

  Specified by:
    `getOne` in interface `Field<BigFraction>`
  Returns:
    multiplicative identity of the field

### getZero

    public BigFraction getZero()

  Get the additive identity of the field.

  The additive identity is the element e0 of the field such that for all elements a of the field, the equalities a + e0 = e0 + a = a hold.

  Specified by:
    `getZero` in interface `Field<BigFraction>`
  Returns:
    additive identity of the field

### readResolve

    private java.lang.Object readResolve()

  Handle deserialization of the singleton.

  Returns:
    the singleton instance
