Would a kind person explain to me why element 1 and element 2 are not equal? And what I need to do to test if element 1 is zero in K?
# setup f = conway_polynomial(2,63) K.<a> = GF(2**63, name='a', modulus=f) n = f.degree() m = 3; e = (2^n - 1) / (2^m - 1) c = a^e conway = conway_polynomial(2,m) # element 1 print conway(c) # says 0 print type(c) print parent(c) print c in K # says True # element 2 print K(0) # says 0 print type(K(0)) print parent(K(0)) print conway(c) == K(0) # says False??? -- Kate Minola University of Maryland, College Park --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://sage.math.washington.edu/sage/ and http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
