    z = parseInt(f.substring(0, i))
    f = f.substring(++i).trim()
}

int m = s.length,
    n = parseInt(s[m - 2]),
    d = parseInt(s[m - 1]);

a := f.ToFloat;

Origin

from re import split

s = split('[ /]', f)
*i, n, d = map(int, s)
a = sum(i, n / d)

from fractions import Fraction

a = map(Fraction, f.split())
a = sum(map(float, a))

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