2. **The Problem (an enhanced version of Chapter 11, Programming Problem 3, page 659):** design, implement, and test a Rational class that represents a rational number as a pair of integers instead of a single floating-point number.
3. **More Details:**
A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a fraction whose numerator and denominator are integers. Examples of rational numbers are 0.75 (which is 3/4) and 1.125 (which is 9/8). The value p is not a rational number; it cannot be expressed as the ratio of two integers.
1. The *Rational* objects must be stored in their reduced form. In other words, the rational number 12/16 should be stored as 3/4. A private member function Reduce should be provided to reduce the *Rational* object.
2. The *Rational* class should have two class constructors. The first one lets the client specify an initial numerator and denominator. The other??"the default constructor??"creates the *Rational* number 0, represented as a numerator of 0 and a denominator of 1.
3. The *Rational* class should have arithmetic operations that add, subtract, multiply, and divide two *Rational* objects. These should be implemented as value-returning functions, each returning a *Rational* object.
4. The *Rational* class should have a Boolean operation that compares two *Rational* objects for equality.
5. The *Rational* class should have an input operation that reads a rational number from a designated input stream in the form numerator/denominator.
6. The *Rational* class should have an output operation that writes a rational number out to a designated output stream in the form numerator/denominator
