Defined in basic/bigint/b-degree.ts:16

Returns the degree of the given polynomial - the zero polynomial degree is returned as -1 (and not -∞ as is conventional).

example

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
p	bigint[]	a polynomial with coefficients given densely as an array of bigints from highest to lowest power, e.g. [5n,-3n,0n] represents the polynomial 5x^2 - 3x

Returns: number
