AlgebraicStructureTraits::IsSquare

Definition

AdaptableBinaryFunction providing an integral square root.

An 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.

Types

AlgebraicStructureTraits::IsSquare::result_type
	Is AlgebraicStructureTraits::Boolean.
AlgebraicStructureTraits::IsSquare::first_argument
	Is AlgebraicStructureTraits::Type.
AlgebraicStructureTraits::IsSquare::second_argument
	Is AlgebraicStructureTraits::Type&.

Operations

result_type is_square ( 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.

result_type is_square ( first_argument_type x )

returns true in case x is a square.
