Rationals & transfers

The rational type is very convenient to implement business formulas.

In this exercise, the payback entrypoint transfers back to the caller 70% of the transferred amount:

3-rat_transfer.arl
archetype rat_transfer

entry payback () {
  transfer (70% * transferred) to caller
}

caller refers to the account address that is calling the entry point, and transferred refers to the amount of tez sent to call the entry point.

There are many ways to specify a rational value:

var f : rational = 1.1;
var g : rational = -1.1;
var r : rational = 2 / 6;
var t : rational = -2 / 6;
var u : rational = 80%;
var v : rational = 4.2%;

Deploy
