Constructor Detail

Quaternions

public Quaternions()

Method Detail

getZERO

public java.lang.Number getZERO()

Description copied from interface: GroupI

Returns the identity element under +

Specified by:

getZERO in interface GroupI

getONE

public java.lang.Number getONE()

Description copied from interface: RingI

Get multiplicative identity i.e. 1. Strictly speaking a ring need not have a mul indentity. However most useful ones do, and they are not all integral domains.

Specified by:

getONE in interface RingI

getInverse

public java.lang.Number getInverse(java.lang.Number num)

Description copied from interface: GroupI

Get Inverse of a number

Specified by:

getInverse in interface GroupI

add

public java.lang.Number add(java.lang.Number a,
                            java.lang.Number b)

Description copied from interface: GroupI

Get sum of the numbers

Specified by:

add in interface GroupI

sub

public java.lang.Number sub(java.lang.Number a,
                            java.lang.Number b)

Description copied from interface: GroupI

Get the difference of the numbers. i.e. a + (-b)

Specified by:

sub in interface GroupI

mul

public java.lang.Number mul(java.lang.Number a,
                            java.lang.Number b)

Description copied from interface: RingI

Returns the product of two numbers, a*b

Specified by:

mul in interface RingI

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Number a,
                      java.lang.Number b)

Description copied from interface: GroupI

whether two numbers are equal

Specified by:

equals in interface GroupI

valueOf

public java.lang.Number valueOf(java.lang.String s)

Description copied from interface: GroupI

returns number given by the string

Specified by:

valueOf in interface GroupI

addStandardConstants

public void addStandardConstants(JEP j)

Description copied from class: Group

adds the standard constants for this group. By default does nothing.

Specified by:

addStandardConstants in interface GroupI

Overrides:

addStandardConstants in class Group

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Group
