Constructor Detail

PolynomialAsSortedList

public PolynomialAsSortedList()

Constructs a PolynomialAsOrderedList. The polynomial initially contains no terms. I.e., it is the zero polynomial.

Method Detail

add

public void add(Term term)

Adds the specified term to this polynomial.

Specified by:

add in interface Polynomial

Parameters:

term - The term to be added to this polynomial.

differentiate

public void differentiate()

Differentiates this polynomial. Implemented using a visitor that differentiates one-by-one all the terms in this polynomial.

Specified by:

differentiate in interface Polynomial

plus

public Polynomial plus(Polynomial poly)

Returns the sum of this polynomial and the specified polynomial.

Specified by:

plus in interface Polynomial

Parameters:

poly - The polynomial to be added to this polynomial.

Returns:

the sum of this polynomial and the specified polynomial.

plus(Opus5.Polynomial)

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns a string representation of this polynomial.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

a string representation of this polynomial.
