ring delaration

lkastner · Mon Dec 03, 2012 11:54 pm

I have a ring called r and want to create a copy of this ring, but with a different characteristic. Is there some working alternative to

Code:

int newchar = 5;
ring r = newchar,(varstr(r)),dp;

?

Thanks,
Lars

Hi,

you can try using

Code:

list L = ringlist(r);

and change the field component (L[1]) with it coming from a ring with appropriate field. Afterwards create a new ring out of it, e.g. with

Code:

def NEW = ring(L); setring NEW;

Cheers,
