D.2.8.7 maxcoef

Usage:

maxcoef(f); f poly/ideal/vector/module/matrix

Return:

maximal length of coefficient of f of type int (by measuring the length of the string of each coefficient)

LIB "polylib.lib";
ring r= 0,(x,y,z),ds;
poly g = 345x2-1234567890y+7/4z;
maxcoef(g);
==> 10
ideal i = g,10/1234567890;
maxcoef(i);
==> 11
// since i[2]=1/123456789
