These are completely different things; see my previous post. Btw., functions like e.g. gcd() do not preserve the type either, i.e. type(gcd(int(x),int(y)) is Integer, which is IMHO yet a different case, but still a bit odd, since the result can certainly be of the same type as the inputs (assuming they agree), and therefore should be. gcd(QQ(x),y) yields a Rational even if x is integer, while xgcd() returns (Integer,Integer,Integer) for the same inputs. -leif -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
