Add Recurring decimal support

[Maaz-100]

Problem you'd like to fix: Add support to write recurring decimals.

Describe the solution you'd like: An option in the toolbox to be able to write numbers in recurring decimal format and the calculator could give it as a fraction.

Additional context: I was doing a question about the area under a graph (integration) and got the answer as 20.8333333.... from the Grapher app. The exam question wanted the answer in exact form, meaning I needed to write it as a fraction. However, I could not convert it into a fraction. Then I thought maybe if I go to the Calculate app and write 20.8333333 it might give me a fraction like the old Casio calculators used to, but that did not help either .

That's great! Could you please keep me updated? Thanks.

It will be great to have support for recurring decimals but, for some reason, it should be a nightmare for developers. This was never introduced in TiNspire, too. I guess that an acceptable trade off would be to introduce a generating ratio function in the Arithmetic toolbox that gives, as a ratio, the generating ratio of a recurring decimal number allowing for sloppy notation like generatingFunction(1.234,34) for 1.2343434. so that the proposed function takes two arguments that are a decomposition of what you see on the screen and where the second argument is something that you see repeating. Obviously the big picture would be to have fractions whenever possible and roots and fractions when results are algebraic but I think this theoretically unfeasible in general so just a little addition to the toolbox could be convenient

I would Prefer if someone at numworks is able to add recurring decimal support asit would be helpful for a countless Uk A level Students.

However if this is not able to be implemented Than As you mentioned the ratio function would be a fair compromise

Regardless Thanks for this insight TWINGSISTER
