NAME
Math::GrahamFunction::SqFacts - a squaring factors vector.
WARNING!
This is a module for Math::GrahamFunction's internal use only.
CONSTRUCTION
Math::GrahamFunction::SqFacts->new({n => $n})
Initializes a squaring factors object from a number.
Math::GrahamFunction::SqFacts->new({factors => \@factors})
Initializes a squaring factors object from a list of factors.
METHODS
$facts->clone()
Creates a clone of the object and returns it.
$n_facts->mult_by($m_facts)
Calculates the results of the multiplication of the number represented by $n_facts and $m_facts and stores it in $n_facts (destructively).
This is actually addition in vector space.
my $result = $n->mult($m);
Non destructively calculates the multiplication and returns it.
$facts->is_square()
A predicate that returns whether the factors represent a square number.
$facts->exists($myfactor)
Checks whether $myfactor exists in $facts.
my $last_factor = $factors->last()
Returns the last (and greatest factor).
$facts->product()
Returns the product of the factors.
$facts->first()
Returns the first (and smallest) factor.
