Greetings,
(I'm more of a pencil-n-paper math guy.)
A BalancedFiniteField representation of an integer n would be:
the same as FiniteField (base) if n <= floor(n/2)
else base - floor(n/2)
Examples:
base of 4 base of 5
n FF BFF n FF BFF
---------- ----------
0 0 0 0 0 0
1 1 1 1 1 1
2 2 2 2 2 2
3 3 -1 3 3 -2
4 0 0 4 0 -1
5 1 1 5 1 0
6 0 0
After reading the book chapters on Packages, Categorys, and Domains, I find
that I'm no more clear on which is an effective way to get this output.
Thanks for any help,
--jim
