Arglll !!! I had this idea and issued an
tomahawk-*ge-combinat/sage $ grep def\ cardinality\( **/*.py* | wc
11 35 533
which was a pretty low number. For the record:
tomahawk-*ge-combinat/sage $ grep def\ cardinality\( **/*.py*
rings/integer_mod_ring.py: def cardinality(self):
rings/ring.pyx: def cardinality(self):
schemes/elliptic_curves/ell_finite_field.py: def cardinality(self,
algorithm='heuristic', extension_degree=1):
sets/primes.py: def cardinality(self):
sets/set.py: def cardinality(self):
sets/set.py: def cardinality(self):
sets/set.py: def cardinality(self):
sets/set.py: def cardinality(self):
sets/set.py: def cardinality(self):
sets/set.py: def cardinality(self):
structure/parent.pyx: def cardinality(self):
Is there a standard policy about aliases like card/cardinality ?
I'm personally against them because they tends to make the code more
confusing. But I'd like to know if there si a general answer.
Cheers,
Florent
