Interface RinglikeStructure<T>

Type Parameters:

T - the type of the elements of the underlying set.

All Superinterfaces:

Structure<T>

All Known Subinterfaces:

Field<T>, OrderedField<T>, Ring<T>, Semiring<T>

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractOrderedField, DoubleField

public interface RinglikeStructure<T>
extends Structure<T>

An algebraic structure, which is of ringlike type, aka it has two operations. Typically, they are called addition (+) and multiplication (*). Together with the underlying set of elements, these operations form different grouplike structures themselves.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
GrouplikeStructure<T>	additionStructure() Returns the grouplike structure representing the addition of elements.
GrouplikeStructure<T>	multiplicationStructure() Returns the grouplike structure representing the multiplication of elements.
