<div class="block">Create a fraction given the double value.
<p>
This constructor behaves <em>differently</em> from
<a href="../../../../../org/apache/commons/math3/fraction/BigFraction.html#BigFraction(double, double, int)"><code>BigFraction(double, double, int)</code></a>. It converts the double value
exactly, considering its internal bits representation. This works for all
values except NaN and infinities and does not requires any loop or
convergence threshold.
</p>
<p>
Since this conversion is exact and since double numbers are sometimes
approximated, the fraction created may seem strange in some cases. For example,
calling <code>new BigFraction(1.0 / 3.0)</code> does <em>not</em> create
the fraction 1/3, but the fraction 6004799503160661 / 18014398509481984
because the double number passed to the constructor is not exactly 1/3
(this number cannot be stored exactly in IEEE754).
