Currency

From Rosetta Code
Revision as of 21:31, 8 November 2017 by Aamrun (talk | contribs) (Added C implementation.)
Currency is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.
Task

Show how to represent currency in a simple example, using a data type that represent exact values of dollars and cents.


Note

The IEEE 754 binary floating point representations of numbers like   2.86   and   .0765   are not exact.

For this example, data will be two items with prices in dollars and cents, a quantity for each, and a tax rate.

Use the values:

  • 4000000000000000 hamburgers at $5.50 each
  • 2 milkshakes at $2.86 each, and
  • a tax rate of 7.65%.


(That number of hamburgers is a 4 with 15 zeros after it.   The number is contrived to exclude naïve task solutions using 64 bit floating point types.)

Compute and output (show results on this page):

  • the total price before tax
  • the tax
  • the total with tax


The tax value must be computed by rounding to the nearest whole cent and this exact value must be added to the total price before tax.

The output must show dollars and cents with a decimal point.

The three results displayed should be:

  • 22000000000000005.72
  • 1683000000000000.44
  • 23683000000000006.16


Dollar signs and thousands separators are optional.

AWK

version 1

<lang AWK>

  1. syntax: GAWK -M -f CURRENCY.AWK
  2. using GNU Awk 4.1.1, API: 1.1 (GNU MPFR 3.1.2, GNU MP 5.1.2)

BEGIN {

   PREC = 100
   hamburger_p = 5.50
   hamburger_q = 4000000000000000
   hamburger_v = hamburger_p * hamburger_q
   milkshake_p = 2.86
   milkshake_q = 2
   milkshake_v = milkshake_p * milkshake_q
   subtotal = hamburger_v + milkshake_v
   tax = subtotal * .0765
   printf("%-9s %8s %18s %22s\n","item","price","quantity","value")
   printf("hamburger %8.2f %18d %22.2f\n",hamburger_p,hamburger_q,hamburger_v)

   printf("%37s %22.2f\n","tax",tax)
   printf("%37s %22.2f\n","total",subtotal+tax)

Output:

  2. using GNU Awk 4.1.1, API: 1.1 (GNU MPFR 3.1.2, GNU MP 5.1.2)
  3. INT is used to define values and do math; results then converted to FLOAT

BEGIN {

   milkshake_v = milkshake_p * milkshake_q
   subtotal = hamburger_v + milkshake_v
   tax = subtotal * 765
   subtotal /= 100
   tax /= 1000000
   printf("%-9s %8s %18s %22s\n","item","price","quantity","value")
   printf("hamburger %8.2f %18d %22.2f\n",hamburger_p/100,hamburger_q,hamburger_v/100)

C

This implementation uses the GMP library for arbitrary precision arithmetic. The only data type used here is mpf_t, the following text is from the GMP documentation :

Floating point number or Float for short, is an arbitrary precision mantissa with a limited precision exponent. The C data type for such objects is mpf_t. For example:

mpf_t fp;

One remark about the code, notice that for setting all other variables the mpf_set_d function is used: <lang C> mpf_set_d(burgerUnitPrice,5.50); mpf_set_d(milkshakePrice,2 * 2.86); mpf_set_d(burgerNum,4000000000000000); mpf_set_d(milkshakeNum,2); </lang> But when it comes to the tax rate, it's mpf_set_str: <lang C> mpf_set_str(tax,"0.0765",10); </lang> The reason is a weird rounding off error which happens if the mpf_set_d function is used. Documentation and example usages of GMP is very rare on the net possibly because it is used almost exclusively by academia and high tech industries. The implementation below is the result of a lot of fiddling, gotchas and lessons learnt, just how good programming should always be :)

This is because (a) you did not order that many hamburgers, and (b) they did not deliver that many hamburgers, and (c) that much hamburger probably does not exist, and ...)

Perl 6

Works with: Rakudo version 2016.01

No need for a special type in Perl 6, since the Rat type is used for normal fractions.

(There's no limit on the numerator.)) <lang perl6>my @check = q:to/END/.lines.map: { [.split(/\s+/)] };

Python

This uses Pythons decimal module, (and some copying of names from the Perl 6 example).

<lang python>from decimal import Decimal as D from collections import namedtuple

Item = namedtuple('Item', 'price, quant')

items = dict( hamburger=Item(D('5.50'), D('4000000000000000')),

             milkshake=Item(D('2.86'), D('2')) )

tax_rate = D('0.0765')

fmt = "%-10s %8s %18s %22s" print(fmt % tuple('Item Price Quantity Extension'.upper().split()))

total_before_tax = 0 for item, (price, quant) in sorted(items.items()):

   ext = price * quant
   print(fmt % (item, price, quant, ext))
   total_before_tax += ext

print(fmt % (, , , '--------------------')) print(fmt % (, , 'subtotal', total_before_tax))

tax = (tax_rate * total_before_tax).quantize(D('0.00')) print(fmt % (, , 'Tax', tax))

total = total_before_tax + tax print(fmt % (, , , '--------------------')) print(fmt % (, , 'Total', total))</lang>

Output:

Racket

Racket can handle fractions. To read the decimals numbers as fractions instead of floating point numbers, they must start with #e. For example #e.3 -> 3/10 and .3 ->3E-1. The main problem is rounding correctly and this part is handled in cents-*, that implements a multiplication that rounds to the cents. The rest of the program is only formatting. <lang Racket>#lang racket (define (cents-* x y)

 (/ (round (* 100 x y)) 100))

(struct item (name count price))

(define (string-pad-right len . strs)

 (define all (apply string-append strs))
 (string-append  all (make-string (- len (string-length all)) #\space)))

(define (string-pad-left len . strs)

 (define all (apply string-append strs))
 (string-append  (make-string (- len (string-length all)) #\space) all))

REXX

REXX uses characters to represent everything, including all forms of numbers.   So what is expressed as a literal (characters) is what REXX uses.   Essentially, it can be thought of as decimal.

Programming note:   the tax rate can be expressed with or without a percent   (%)  suffix.
