How can I write set of all positive rational numbers

How to write the set of all rational numbers?? From Cantor's matrix we can get the positive ones. Should I add corresponding negative values and a 0?

    Very similarly to the proof showing that all integers are countable.

    Yes. After writing the rational number set then I can proof by one to one correspondence that rational numbers are countable. I was confused about the set of rational numbers

Use the order 0,1,-1, 2, -2, 3, -3, ... for the numerator and then apply the Cantor matrix. The denominator can be called positive wlog.
