5.1.111 ord

Syntax:
ord ( poly_expression )
ord ( vector_expression )
Type:
int
Purpose:
returns the (weighted) degree of the initial term of a polynomial or a vector; the weights are the weights used for the first block of the ring ordering.
Note:
ord(0) is -1.
In a global degree ordering ord is the same as deg.
Example:
 
  ring r=7,(x,y),wp(2,3);
  ord(0);
==> -1
  poly f=x2+y3;  // weight on y is 3
  ord(f),deg(f);
==> 9 9
  ring R=7,(x,y),ws(2,3);
  poly f=x2+y3;
  ord(f),deg(f);
==> 4 9
  vector v=[x2,y];
  ord(v),deg(v);
==> 3 4
See deg; poly; vector.
