Non Negative Integers

class sage.sets.non_negative_integers.NonNegativeIntegers(category=None)

Bases: sage.structure.unique_representation.UniqueRepresentation, sage.structure.parent.Parent

The enumerated set of non negative integers.

This class implements the set of non negative integers, as an enumerated set (see InfiniteEnumeratedSets).

EXAMPLES:

sage: NN = NonNegativeIntegers()
sage: NN
Non negative integers
sage: NN.cardinality()
+Infinity
sage: TestSuite(NN).run()
sage: NN.list()
...
NotImplementedError: infinite list
sage: NN.element_class
<type 'sage.rings.integer.Integer'>
sage: it = iter(NN)
sage: [it.next(), it.next(), it.next(), it.next(), it.next()]
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
sage: NN.first()
0

Currently, this is just a “facade” parent; namely its elements are plain Sage Integers with Integer Ring as parent:

sage: x = NN(15); type(x)
<type 'sage.rings.integer.Integer'>
sage: x.parent()
Integer Ring
sage: x+3
18

In a later version, there will be an option to specify whether the elements should have Integer Ring or Non negative integers as parent:

sage: NN = NonNegativeIntegers(facade = False) # todo: not implemented
sage: x = NN(5)                                # todo: not implemented
sage: x.parent()                               # todo: not implemented
Non negative integers

This runs generic sanity checks on NN:

sage: TestSuite(NN).run()

TODO: do not use NN any more in the doctests for NonNegativeIntegers.
