5.1.142 size
Syntax:
size ( string_expression )
size ( bigint_expression )
size ( number_expression )
size ( intvec_expression )
size ( intmat_expression )
size ( poly_expression )
size ( vector_expression )
size ( ideal_expression )
size ( module_expression )
size ( matrix_expression )
size ( list_expression )
size ( resolution_expression )
size ( ring_expression )
Type:
- int
Purpose:
- depends on the type of argument:
- ideal or module
- returns the number of (non-zero) generators.
- string, intvec, list or resolution
- returns the length, i.e., the number of characters, entries or elements.
- poly or vector
- returns the number of monomials.
- matrix or intmat
- returns the number of entries (rows*columns).
- ring
- returns the number of elements in the ground field
(for Z/p and algebraic extensions) or -1
- number or bigint
- returns 0 for 0 or the number of words
Example:
| string s="hello";
size(s);
==> 5
intvec iv=1,2;
size(iv);
==> 2
ring r=0,(x,y,z),lp;
poly f=x+y+z;
size(f);
==> 3
vector v=[x+y,0,0,1];
size(v);
==> 3
ideal i=f,y;
size(i);
==> 2
module m=v,[0,1],[0,0,1],2*v;
size(m);
==> 4
matrix mm[2][2];
size(mm);
==> 4
ring r1=(2,a),x,dp;
minpoly=a4+a+1;
size(r1);
==> 16
