About

CoCoA computes polynomials either Q or in Z/(p). In case you have polynomials in Q and you do some computations with them, after some time their coefficients probably look quite ugly (ToDo: Add Example). To get a feeling for the coefficients, it may be quite handy to get a rounded value instead of these loooong fractions. Their is no code inside CoCoA to do this automatically, but you can do it quite easy, using CoCoA's FloatApprox or FloatStr functions.

First version: Converting to string

 P := x^2 + 11/10 y + 1/3 z;
 S := Sum(Flatten([ ['( ',FloatStr(LC(M)),'*',Sprint(LT(M)),') +'] | M In Monomials(P)]));
 S;

Second version: Only rounding coefficients

 P := x^2 + 11/10 y + 1/3 z;
 S := Sum([ FloatApprox(LC(M),1/10^3)LT(M) | M In Monomials(P)]);
 S;

Third version: Using DecimalStr()

Define PolyStr(Poly,MultSymb)

 T := Sum(Flatten(
      [[SignStr(LC(M))," " ,DecimalStr(Abs(LC(M))),MultSymb ,Sprint(LT(M)), " "] |
        M In Monomials(Poly)]));
 If (T[1] IsIn "+")=True Then
   T := Sum([T[I] | I In 2..Len(T)]);
 EndIf;
 Return T;

EndDefine;

Examples

Output First Version:

( 1.000000000*10^0*x^2) +( 1.100000000*10^0*y) +( 3.333333333*10^(-1)*z) +

Output Second Version:

x^2 + 11/10y + 3333/10000z

Calling Third Version with: PolyStr(P,Ascii(183));

1·x^2 + 1.1·y + 0.333·z
