In reviewing #2340, which adds some nice documentation for rings/ring.pyx -- done by cswiercz -- I came across for the first time the feature that gcd(a,b) works for rational a,b, returning a perfectly sensible answer.
sage: gcd(1/2,1/3) 1/6 Are there any other fields for which someone has implemented a gcd function? Although this is a nice function and I cann that it has its uses, I am not so happy with its name.... I could just as easily make a case for gcd(a,b)=1 for all rationals a,b (except (gcd(0,0)=0). -- John Cremona --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
