Ordered Fractions
Ordered Fractions
Consider the set of all reduced fractions between 0 and 1 inclusive with denominators less than or equal to N.
Here is the set when N = 5:
0/1 1/5 1/4 1/3 2/5 1/2 3/5 2/3 3/4 4/5 1/1
Write a program that, given an integer N between 1 and 160 inclusive, prints the fractions in order of increasing magnitude.
One line with a single integer N.
One fraction per line, sorted in order of magnitude.

Answer - Python
def getKey(s):
num,den=map(int,s.strip().split("/"))
return num/den
fin = open('frac1.in','r')
N = int(fin.readline().strip())
def getGcd(a,b):
q,r=divmod(a,b)
if r == 0:
return b
else :
return getGcd(b,r)
fracList=[]
fracList.append("0/1")
for den in range(1,N+1):
for num in range(1,den+1):
gcd=getGcd(den,num)
frac=f"{int(num/gcd)}/{int(den/gcd)}"
if not frac in fracList:
fracList.append(frac)
fracList.sort(key=getKey)
with open('frac1.out','w') as fout:
for e in fracList:
fout.write(e+'\n')
