Numeric array of the same shape as x
of rational
approximations.
If x
contains the results of a calculation for which the
correct answers rational with ``small'' denominators, this may remove
roundoff error.
Similar to round(..)
, except that full accuracy is maintained
for many exactly rational quantities.
