Constructor & Destructor Documentation

def core.base_calculus.Item.__init__	(	self,
		arg
	)

Constructor.

Warning:: Might raise an UncompatibleType exception.

Parameters:

arg

a number which will will be the same as (sign_number, number, 1)
a letter : for example, passing 'a' is equivalent to ('+', 'a', 1) but passing '-x' is equivalent to ('-', 'x', 1) further characters are ignored ('ax' is equivalent to 'a')
another Item which will be copied
a tuple ('+'|'-', number|string)
a tuple ('+'|'-', number|string, <exponent as number|Exponented>)
None which will be the same as giving 1
a Monomial of degree zero and coefficient is an Item The is_out_striked field will always be initialized at False but will be copied in the case of an Item given as argument. If the argument is not of one of these kinds, an exception will be raised.

Returns:: One instance of Item
