Synopsis

Usage:
degreeLength X
Inputs:
- X, a ring, module, or monoid
Outputs:
- an integer, the length of a multidegree vector used as a degree of an element of X

Description

o1 = 0

i2 : degreeLength (ZZ[x])

o2 = 1

i3 : degreeLength (ZZ[x, Degrees => {{1,2,3}}])

o3 = 3

i4 : degreeLength (GF 9)

o4 = 0
