Detailed Description

template<class T>
class AbstractGroup< T >

Abstract group.

Template Parameters
Telement class or type

const Element& returned by member functions are references to internal data members. Since each object may have only one such data member for holding results, the following code will produce incorrect results:

    abcd = group.Add(group.Add(a,b), group.Add(c,d));

But this should be fine:

    abcd = group.Add(a, group.Add(b, group.Add(c,d));

virtual const Element & AbstractGroup< T >::Identity ( ) const
pure virtual

◆ Add()

template<class T >
virtual const Element & AbstractGroup< T >::Add ( const Element & a,
const Element & b ) const
pure virtual

Adds elements in the group.

Parameters

template<class T >
const T & AbstractGroup< T >::Subtract ( const Element & a,
const Element & b ) const
virtual

Subtracts elements in the group.

Parameters

Definition at line 97 of file algebra.cpp.

◆ SimultaneousMultiply()

template<class T >
void AbstractGroup< T >::SimultaneousMultiply ( Element * results,
const Element & base,
const Integer * exponents,
unsigned int exponentsCount ) const
virtual

Multiplies a base to multiple exponents in a group.

Parameters
resultsan array of Elements
basethe base to raise to the exponents
exponentsan array of exponents
exponentsCountthe number of exponents in the array

SimultaneousMultiply() multiplies the base to each exponent in the exponents array and stores the result at the respective position in the results array.

SimultaneousMultiply() must be implemented in a derived class.

Precondition
COUNTOF(results) == exponentsCount
COUNTOF(exponents) == exponentsCount

Reimplemented in ECP.
