numpy.polynomial.laguerre.Laguerre.degree#
method
- polynomial.laguerre.Laguerre.degree()[source]#
The degree of the series.
New in version 1.5.0.
- Returns:
- degreeint
Degree of the series, one less than the number of coefficients.
Examples
Create a polynomial object for
1 + 7*x + 4*x**2
:>>> poly = np.polynomial.Polynomial([1, 7, 4]) >>> print(poly) 1.0 + 7.0·x + 4.0·x² >>> poly.degree() 2
Note that this method does not check for non-zero coefficients. You must trim the polynomial to remove any trailing zeroes:
>>> poly = np.polynomial.Polynomial([1, 7, 0]) >>> print(poly) 1.0 + 7.0·x + 0.0·x² >>> poly.degree() 2 >>> poly.trim().degree() 1
