Type Parameters:

All Known Implementing Classes:

DoubleCheating

public interface Cheating<T>

This interface provides methods for field elements, whose usage is highly discouraged and should be avoided. Currently, they are necessary, mainly because no base-treatment implementation is available, which is purely baes on fields. We hope to get rid of this at some point, therefore clients should NOT use these methods.

Currently, this interface provides conversion methods from/to double. This is required for the current implementation of base conversions. The general plan for the future is to also base the base conversions fully on the field structure, therefore, these two methods are marked as deprecated, to avoid that clients start rely on them and abuse them.

Parameters:

value - the double value from which to construct the field element.

Returns:

the field element constructed from the double value

toDouble

double toDouble(T value)

Has to convert the given field element to a (unique) double value.

Parameters:

value - field element to convert

Returns:

a double value related to the field
