Hi, all, I want to create a "function" within a function, and return it as the value of the latter function, something along the lines of: def g(a,b,c): var('x y') f = a*x^2 + b*y + c return f This works, almost. I have to invoke the return value as a function returning a functio

Hi, all, I do this, and get integers, but the types are rational: sage: b1=0 sage: b2=2 sage: s=(b1+b2)/2 sage: n=(b1-b2)/2 sage: s 1 sage: n -1 Then I do this: sage: xgcd(s,n) --- Traceback (most recent call last)
