| Vec() and leading zeros of generating function |
Vec() can give terms from a polynomial generating function but it
doesn't include leading zeros. Eg.
Vec(x^2/(1-2*x) + O(x^5))
=>
[1, 2, 4]
Is there a good way to start from the zero'th term so I would get
[0, 0, 1, 2, 4]
I have to confess to only doing this by cut-and-paste programming, so
perhaps there's something completely different I don't know which is
better. :-) My main use has been to compare against expected or desired
values, so
want = [1, -1, 1, -1]
Vec(1/(1+x) + O(x^length(want))) == want || error("oops")
I see some Pol(Vecrev()) can turn the values into a poly for the
compare, but poly -> values helps for printing the values too.
