// Fractions: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zt9n6g8/articles/zjxpp4j
// Written here like this: 1/2 == Numerator/Denominator
// the first test and first case is written for you
// complete the rest of the tests and cases
// write one test at a time, and make it pass, build your solution up

// Acceptance criteria:

// Proper Fraction check:
// Input: numerator = 2, denominator = 3
// target output: true
// Explanation: The fraction 2/3 is a proper fraction, where the numerator is less than the denominator. The function should return true.
const properFraction = isProperFraction(2, 3);
assertEquals(properFraction, true);

// Improper Fraction check:
// Input: numerator = 5, denominator = 2
// target output: false
// Explanation: The fraction 5/2 is an improper fraction, where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator. The function should return false.
const improperFraction = isProperFraction(5, 2);
assertEquals(improperFraction, false);

// Negative Fraction check:
// Input: numerator = -4, denominator = 7
// target output: true
// Explanation: The fraction -4/7 is a proper fraction because the absolute value of the numerator (4) is less than the denominator (7). The function should return true.
const negativeFraction = isProperFraction(-4, 7);
// ====> complete with your assertion
assertEquals(negativeFraction, true);

// Equal Numerator and Denominator check:
// Input: numerator = 3, denominator = 3
// target output: false
// Explanation: The fraction 3/3 is not a proper fraction because the numerator is equal to the denominator. The function should return false.

// ====> complete with your assertion
assertEquals(equalFraction, false);
// Stretch:
// What other scenarios could you test for?
//Negative fraction check
//Input: numerator=-4, denominator=2;
//target output: false
// Explanation: The fraction -4/2 is not a proper fraction because the absolute value of the numerator (4) is more than the denominator (2). The function should return false.
