Examples
F = gf_create_field(3, 2); gf_characteristic(F) // 3 |  |  |
Characteristic of a finite field
p = gf_characteristic(F)
A field created by gf_create_field.
The characteristic: the prime p of GF(p^n).
gf_characteristic(F) returns the prime p such that F is GF(p^n). Adding any element to itself p times gives zero.
F = gf_create_field(3, 2); gf_characteristic(F) // 3 | | |
