Detailed Description

field specification and archetypical instance.

The FieldArchetype and its encapsulated element class contain pointers to the FieldAbstract and its encapsulated field element, respectively. FieldAbstract then uses virtual member functions to define operations on its encapsulated field element. This field element has no knowledge of the field properties being used on it which means the field object must supply these operations.

It does not contain elements zero and one because they can be created whenever necessary, although it might be beneficial from an efficiency stand point to include them. However, because of archetype use three, the elements themselves cannot be contained, but rather pointers to them.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ FieldArchetype() [1/3]

FieldArchetype ( const FieldArchetype F)
inline

Copy constructor.

Each field class is expected to provide a copy constructor. This is required to allow field objects to be passed by value into functions.

In this archetype implementation, this means copying the field to which F._field_ptr points, the element to which F._elem_ptr points, and the random element generator to which F._randIter_ptr points.

◆ ~FieldArchetype()

~FieldArchetype ( void  )
inline

Destructor.

This destroys the field object, but it does not destroy any field element objects.

In this archetype implementation, destruction is deletion of the field object to which _field_ptr points, the field element to which _elem_ptr points, and the random element generator to which _randIter_ptr points.

◆ FieldArchetype() [2/3]

FieldArchetype ( FieldAbstract field_ptr,
ElementAbstract elem_ptr,
RandIterAbstract randIter_ptr 
)
inline

Constructor.

Constructs field from pointer to FieldAbstract and its encapsulated element and random element generator. Not part of the interface. Creates new copies of field, element, and random iterator generator objects in dynamic memory.

Parameters
field_ptrpointer to FieldAbstract.
elem_ptrpointer to ElementAbstract, which is the encapsulated element of FieldAbstract.
randIter_ptrpointer to RandIterAbstract, which is the encapsulated random iterator generator of FieldAbstract.

◆ FieldArchetype() [3/3]

FieldArchetype ( Field_qcq *  f)
inline

Constructor.

Constructs field from ANYTHING matching the interface using the enveloppe as a FieldAbstract and its encapsulated element and random element generator if needed.

Parameters
f

Member Function Documentation

◆ operator=()

FieldArchetype& operator= ( const FieldArchetype F)
inline

Assignment operator.

In this archetype implementation, this means copying the field to which F._field_ptr points, the element to which F._elem_ptr points, and the random element generator to which F._randIter_ptr points.

Parameters
F FieldArchetype object.

◆ init() [1/2]

Element& init ( Element x) const
inline

Initialization of field element.

Empty constructor

Returns
reference to x.
Parameters
xoutput field element.
ninput integer.

◆ init() [2/2]

Element& init ( Element x,
const integer n 
) const
inline

Initialization of field element from an integer.

x becomes the image of n under the natural map from the integers to the prime subfield. It is the result obtained from adding n 1's in the field.

This function assumes the output field element x has already been constructed, but that it is not necessarily already initialized. In this archetype implementation, this means the _elem_ptr of x exists, but that it may be the null pointer.

Returns
reference to x.
Parameters
xoutput field element.
ninput integer.

◆ convert()

integer& convert ( integer n,
const Element y = 0 
) const
inline

Conversion of field element to an integer.

The meaning of conversion is specific to each field class. However, if x is in the prime subfield, the integer n returned is such that an init from n will reproduce x. Most often, $0 \leq n < \mathrm{characteristic}$.

Returns
reference to n.
Parameters
noutput integer.
yinput field element.

◆ assign()

Element& assign ( Element x,
const Element y 
) const
inline

Assignment of one field element to another.

This function assumes both field elements have already been constructed and initialized.

In this archetype implementation, this means for both x and y, _elem_ptr exists and does not point to null.

Returns
reference to x
Parameters
xdestination field element.
ysource field element.

◆ cardinality()

integer& cardinality ( integer c) const
inline

Cardinality.

Return c, integer representing cardinality of the field. c becomes a non-negative integer for all fields with finite cardinality, and -1 to signify a field of infinite cardinality.

◆ characteristic()

integer& characteristic ( integer c) const
inline

Characteristic.

Return c, integer representing characteristic of the field (the least positive n such that the sum of n copies of x is 0 for all field elements x). c becomes a positive integer for all fields with finite characteristic, and 0 to signify a field of infinite characteristic.
