Modify the below program that the input values representing fractions are stored with denominators that are positive integers. You cannot require the user to only enter a positive denominator value; the user should not be inconvenienced by such a restriction. For example, whilst values of 1 / -2 are acceptable inputs for a fraction, the output representation should be -1 / 2.

Modify the below program that the input values representing
fractions are stored with denominators that are positive integers. You cannot require the user to only enter a positive denominator value; the user should not be inconvenienced by such a restriction. For example, whilst values of 1 / -2 are acceptable inputs for a fraction, the output representation should be -1 / 2. Your solution should check the denominator input; if it is negative, swap the sign of both numerator and denominator instance variables.
