type/zppoly

check for a modp1 or modp2 polynomial

 Calling Sequence type(a, zppoly)

Parameters

 a - expression

Description

 • The  type(a, zppoly) calling sequence checks that a is a modp1 or a modp2 polynomial.
 • The modp1 function provides efficient arithmetic and other operations for univariate polynomials modulo a prime.  The modp2 function provides similar efficiency for bivariate polynomials modulo a prime. They achieve this efficiency by using a dedicated data structure.
