D.2.6.4 defring

Procedure from library ring.lib (see ring_lib).

Usage:
defring(s1,s2,n,s3,s4); s1..s4=strings, n=integer

Create:
Define a ring with name 's1', characteristic 's2', ordering 's4' and n variables with names derived from s3 and make it the basering. If s3 is a single letter, say s3="a", and if n<=26 then a and the following n-1 letters from the alphabet (cyclic order) are taken as variables. If n>26 or if s3 is a single letter followed by (, say s3="T(", the variables are T(1),...,T(n).

Return:
No return value

Note:
This proc is useful for defining a ring in a procedure. This proc uses 'execute' or calls a procedure using 'execute'. If you use it in your own proc, let the local names of your proc start with @.

Example:
 
LIB "ring.lib";
defring("r","0",5,"u","ls"); r; "";
==> // basering is now: r
==> //   characteristic : 0
==> //   number of vars : 5
==> //        block   1 : ordering ls
==> //                  : names    u v w x y 
==> //        block   2 : ordering C
==> 
defring("R","2,A",10,"x(","dp(3),ws(1,2,3),ds"); R;
==> // basering is now: R
==> //   characteristic : 2
==> //   1 parameter    : A 
==> //   minpoly        : 0
==> //   number of vars : 10
==> //        block   1 : ordering dp
==> //                  : names    x(1) x(2) x(3) 
==> //        block   2 : ordering ws
==> //                  : names    x(4) x(5) x(6) 
==> //                  : weights     1    2    3 
==> //        block   3 : ordering ds
==> //                  : names    x(7) x(8) x(9) x(10) 
==> //        block   4 : ordering C
