Constructor Detail

F2

public F2(int value)

Builds an element from an integer value. The resulting value is simply this integer value, modulo 2.

Method Detail

add

public FieldElement add(FieldElement val)

Calculates the sum of this element and another one.

Specified by:

add in class FieldElement

Parameters:

val -

Returns:

sum mod 2

multiply

public FieldElement multiply(FieldElement val)

Calculates the product of this element and another one.

Specified by:

multiply in class FieldElement

Parameters:

val -

Returns:

product mod 2

negate

public FieldElement negate()

Calculates the inverse element of addition for this element.

Specified by:

negate in class FieldElement

Returns:

negated (i.e., the value itself)

invert

public FieldElement invert()
                    throws InvalidOperationException

Calculates the inverse element of multiplication for this element.

Specified by:

invert in class FieldElement

Returns:

inverted (i.e., the value itself)

Throws:

InvalidOperationException - if original value is zero

zero

public FieldElement zero()

Returns the neutral element of addition (zero element) of this FieldElement's field.

Specified by:

zero in class FieldElement

Returns:

zero

one

public FieldElement one()

Returns the neutral element of multiplication (one element) of this element's field.

Specified by:

one in class FieldElement

Returns:

one

equals

public boolean equals(FieldElement val)

Checks two elements for equality.

Overrides:

equals in class FieldElement

Parameters:

val -

Returns:

true if the two FieldElements are mathematically equal.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns a String representation of this element.

Returns:

String representation

compareTo

public int compareTo(java.lang.Object o)

Implements Comparable.compareTo(Object).

Specified by:

compareTo in interface java.lang.Comparable

Specified by:

compareTo in class FieldElement

Parameters:

o - the object

Returns:

{-,+,0} as this object is less than, equal to, or greater than the specified object.

instance

public FieldElement instance(double dval)

Returns an instance of this FieldElement to be used in computing mean and other values.

Specified by:

instance in class FieldElement

Parameters:

dval - the value to use

Returns:

instance
