38.29 FFList

FFList( F )

returns for a finite field F a list l of all elements of F in an ordering that is compatible with the ordering of field elements in the MeatAxe share library (see chapter The MeatAxe).

The element of F corresponding to the number n is l[ n+1 ], and the canonical number of the field element z is Position( l, z ) -1.
