how to check if a polynom is a square
I'ld like to put a condition in a programm that looks like:
"if Q is a square, then ..."
Q being a polynom (in GF(p)).
How can I do that ?
First of all, there is a function to check if a polynomial is a square
sage: x = polygen(GF(7))
sage: p = 2*x^2 + 6*x + 1
sage: p.is_square()
True
Then you need to learn about conditional statements in Python (if/elif/else): https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/co...
