Definition

AdaptableBinaryFunction that computes whether the first argument is a square. If the first argument is a square the second argument, which is taken by reference, contains the square root. Otherwise, the content of the second argument is undefined.

A ring element \( x\) is said to be a square iff there exists a ring element \( y\) such that \( x= y*y\). In case the ring is a UniqueFactorizationDomain, \( y\) is uniquely defined up to multiplication by units.

◆ operator()()

result_type AlgebraicStructureTraits_::IsSquare::operator() ( first_argument_type  x,
second_argument_type  y 
)

returns true in case \( x\) is a square, i.e. \( x = y*y\).

Postcondition
\( unit\_part(y) == 1\).
