An inline function is a combination of macro & function. At the time of declaration or definition, function name is preceded by word inline. When inline functions are used, the overhead of function call is eliminated. Instead, the executable statements of the function are copied at the place of each function call. This is done by the compiler. Consider following example:#include <iostream> using namespace std; inline int sqr(int x) { int y; y = x * x; return y; } int main() { int a =3, b; b = sqr(a); cout <<b; return 0; }Here, the statement b = sqr(a) is a function call to sqr(). But since we have declared it as inline, the compiler replaces the statement with the executable stmt of the function (b = a *a)Please note that, inline is a request to the compiler. If it is very complicated function, compiler may not be able to convert it to inline. Then it will remain as it is. E.g. Recursive function, function containing static variable, function containing return statement or loop or goto or switch statements are not made inline even if we declare them so.Also, small functions which are defined inside a class (ie their code is written inside the class) are taken as inline by the compiler even if we don’t explicitly declare them so. They are called auto inline functions. C++

In C++, do you know any function that given a real number x, gives us integers numerator and denominator? have a real x, and I'd like to know how it's written as a fraction. That is, I have the value for x, and I want to know the denominator d and the numerator n such as x = n/d.If you know a C++ library that has a function that gives me such integers, thanks.And sorry if my English isn't good xD
