Apart from the <TAB> autocompletion, another useful way to get
information is to look into the documentation. This is possible by
putting "?" after an interesting object and hit the return key:
sage: k.<a>=GF(9)
sage: k?
This will tell you:
"""
...
EXAMPLES:
FiniteField_givaroElement are accepted where the
parent
is either self, equals self or is the prime subfield
sage: k = GF(2**8, 'a')
sage: k.gen() == k(k.gen())
True
Floats, ints, longs, Integer are interpreted modulo
characteristic
sage: k(2)
0
...
"""
So, the integers are interpreted modulo the characteristic of the
field, certainly not modulo the size of the field.
