How can we extract the coefficient of any polynomial as a fixed degree polynomial? For example, if we have $a=2+3*x$ , then a.polynomial().coefficient() will extract (2,3), but I need the polynomial of degree 3, and the output will be (2,3,0,0).

If a lives in a polynomial ring rather than in the symbolic ring, then a[k] extracts the coefficient of x^k of a, regardless of the degree of a.

Example:

sage: x = polygen(ZZ)
sage: a = 2 + 3*x
sage: [a[k] for k in range(4)]
[2, 3, 0, 0]
