Looks good to me, but I'm not an expert in such things so I'll let those who are give the final review. I will say that you need a docstring and examples...

BinaryStrings().one()
should be an element of BinaryStrings()
, not a Python string. Indeed, you want to be able to write things like:
sage: b = BinaryStrings() sage: b.one() * b("101") == b("101") True

4b9c739 | Change type of StringMonoid_class._identity_element.
|
comment:8 Changed 6 years ago by
This should do the work.
self._identity_element = StringMonoidElement(self, [int(1)])
This makes it a StringMonoidElement?, and not a python string.
comment:9 Changed 6 years ago by
This does not work. As such it returns the second element of the alphabet, as an element of the string monoid:
sage: b = BinaryStrings() sage: b.one() 1 sage: b.one() * b('001') 1001 sage: b = AlphabeticStrings() sage: b.one() B
What we are looking here is the neutral element for the multiplication, which you can get as StringMonoidElement(self, '')
.
You still need to add some doctests.
Also, why creating a _identity_element
attribute while it is used only once, why not directly define the identity element in the one
method ?

The identity element might be required somewhere else, so I thought let it be declared as a member of the class, though for now I'll move it locally.
Oh, I didn't think about this happening ! I will fix it in a commit quickly.

Let me suggest not doing things unless you actually need it, since this make some noise in the source code. Also, since no other monoid has such an attribute, it is likely that if someone once needs something like that, she will create an attribute with another name higher in the hierarchy, and the information will be stored twice. I guess that if someone needs the identity element, she will just call self.one() since it is the standard notation for monoids within Sage.

Replying to tmonteil: Yes, you are correct, I now understand why creating it within one() itself is better.
Also, I am new to development for Sage, I want to ask you whether you build Sage completely again to review my code ? Building Sage takes a lot of time on my laptop, how did you manage to test my code ?

Since your branch is based on develop.7.1.beta1
which i compiled already, Sage only had to compile a few files when i type make
after applying your branch.

Hi,
Does this ticket need further work ?

comment:18 follow-up: ↓ 19 Changed 6 years ago by
It looks much better now.
Perhaps could you just replace the current description Create an identity StringMonoid Element
, by the more common Return the identity element of ``self``
.

Oh yes, this is better. I will push my tentatively final commit here. :-)

I added a missing dot, apart from that it is good to go!

Hi @kcrisman Does my commit serve the purpose ?
