How can I deny Java fraction? This is a class I created

This is my fraction class code. There are several methods. My requirement is to take the numerator as a denominator:

This is my test class. All tests are successful except negative. I have tried several options, just multiply by - 1 or just negative –, no happiness

Solution

The problem is that your negate method returns a new fraction object that you will never reassign to your g variable:

public void testNegate()
{
    Fraction g = new Fraction(1,3);
    g = g.negate(); //added "g ="
    assertEquals(-1,g.getNumerator());
    assertEquals(3,g.getDenominator());
}

As a side note, there is a problem with your negative method, that is, because you multiply the absolute value of the molecule (always positive) by - 1, the molecule will always be negative Just delete math#abs from there and use:

public Fraction negate()
{
    int num = this.numerator * -1;
    int den = this.denominator;
    return new Fraction(num,den);
}

Examples of making your class immutable:

public class Fraction {
    //marking the fields as final in order to only be initialized
    //in class constructor
    private final int numerator;
    private final int denominator;

    public Fraction() {
        //always initialize the fields in constructor
        numerator = 0;
        denominator = 1; //because it cannot be zero
    }

    /**
     * Constructor with two int parameters
     * @param num is numerator
     * @param den is denominator
     */
    public Fraction(int num,int den) {
        if (den==0) {
            //denominator cannot be zero
            //it is better to throw an exception than just returning
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Denominator cannot be zero");
        }
        int[] fractionData = this.normalize(num,den);
        //always initialize the fields in constructor
        this.numerator = fractionData[0];
        this.denominator = fractionData[1];
    }

    private int[] normalize(int numParam,int denParam) {
        int[] fractionData = new int[2];
        fractionData[0] = numParam;
        fractionData[1] = denParam;
        BigInteger gcd;
        BigInteger num = BigInteger.valueOf(numParam);
        BigInteger den = BigInteger.valueOf(denParam);
        gcd = num.gcd(den);
        if (gcd.intValue() > 1) {
            fractionData[0] = numParam / gcd.intValue();
            fractionData[1] = denParam / gcd.intValue();
        }
        return fractionData;
    }

    //leaving the rest of the implementation up to you...
}
