Idiom #349 Convert a fraction into a decimal value

Parse a value, f, into a decimal number, a.

For example, `1/2` is 0.5, and `3 1/8` is 3.125.

a = f.split.map(&:to_r).sum.to_f

let z = 0, n, d, i, a
if ((i = f.indexOf(' ')) != -1) {
    z = parseInt(f.substring(0, i))
    f = f.substring(++i).trim()
}
i = f.indexOf('/')
n = parseInt(f.substring(0, i))
d = parseInt(f.substring(++i))
a = z + (n / d)
import static java.lang.Integer.parseInt;
int z = 0, n, d, i;
double a;
if ((i = f.indexOf(' ')) != -1) {
    z = parseInt(f.substring(0, i));
    f = f.substring(++i).trim();
}
i = f.indexOf('/');
n = parseInt(f.substring(0, i));

New implementation...
