Public Member Functions | |
Integer () | |
initializes to zero | |
Integer (T) | |
initializes to the given value | |
Integer (const Integer< T > &other) | |
copy constructor | |
const Integer< T > & | operator= (const Ring_Element &) |
assignment operator may be needed | |
virtual bool | is_one () const override |
should be True iff element is multiplicative identity | |
virtual bool | is_zero () const override |
should be True iff element is additive identity | |
virtual bool | has_inverse () const override |
should be True iff element has a multiplicative inverse | |
virtual bool | operator== (const Ring_Element &) const override |
comparison: other element has same value | |
virtual bool | operator!= (const Ring_Element &) const override |
comparison: other element has different value | |
virtual Ring_Element & | operator+ (const Ring_Element &) const override |
addition: other element should be of same type, use a cast | |
virtual Ring_Element & | operator- (const Ring_Element &) const override |
subtraction: other element should be of same type, use a cast | |
virtual Ring_Element & | operator* (const Ring_Element &) const override |
multiplicationL other element should be of same type, use a cast | |
T | get_value () const |
returns the value of this | |
Public Member Functions inherited from Rings::Integral_Domain_Element | |
virtual bool | is_cancellable () const override |
integral domains are commutative rings without zero divisors, so the element should be cancellable (see description of class) | |
Public Member Functions inherited from Rings::Commutative_Ring_Element | |
virtual bool | is_commutative () const override |
Duh. | |

The template is used to specify the base numeric type: int
, uint32_t
, etc. In theory you could do something stupid like instantiate an Integer<double>
but why? Anyway, this class may be extended to have methods that would rule that out; e.g., T
could require the %
operator and good luck doing that with your silly little double
.
