Set of Negative Rational Numbers

Description

The mathematical set of negative rational numbers, defined as the set of numbers that can be written as a fraction of two integers and are non-positive. i.e.

p/q : p,q ε Z, p/q ≤ 0, q != 0

where Z is the set of integers.

Details

The $contains method does not work for the set of Rationals as it is notoriously difficult/impossible to find an algorithm for determining if any given number is rational or not. Furthermore, computers must truncate all irrational numbers to rational numbers.
