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 Detail
