Ensure that the input values representing fractions are stored with denominators that are positive integers. It doesn't require the user to only enter a positive denominator value; the user should not be inconvenienced by such a restriction.

 Ensure that the input values representing fractions are stored with denominators that are positive integers. It doesn't 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. Solution should check the denominator input; if it is negative, swap the sign of both numerator and denominator instance variables. Test this functionality with  TestFraction class.

//Import the essential package

//Declare an ArrayList to store the results

ArrayList<Fraction> fractions = new ArrayList<>();

//Create the object for scanner class

Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

//use the do-while loop to iterate test the conditions

do

{

//Prompts the user to enter the numerator

//Store the Integer part only
