| template<typename T> | |
| Element< Self, T > | identity (SELECTOR(T)) const |
| Returns the identity of the monoid (if mul_kind). | |

| Returns the zero of the monoid (if add_kind). | |
| bool | contains (const Element< Self, T > &elt) const |
| Check if a given element is compatible with the structural element. | |
| bool | contains (const Element< OtherS, T > &other) const |
Specialization of contains that always returns false. | |
| bool | contains (const T &elt_value) const |
| Check if an anonymous value is compatible with a structural element. | |
| Element< Self, T > | choose (SELECTOR(T)) const |
| Choose randomly an element in the structure. | |

Detailed Description
template<class Self>
struct vcsn::algebra::MonoidBase< Self >
The base class of all structures that are monoids.
Monoid defines identity for semigroups of mul_kind and zero for semigroup of add_kind.

Member Function Documentation
| bool contains | ( | const Element< OtherS, T > & | other | ) | const [inline, inherited] |
Specialization of contains that always returns false.
Indeed, elements structured by a particular type are always incompatible with structural elements of another type.
| self_t& self | ( | ) | [inherited] |
Accessor to the real type.
To be used by implementations in this class and derived structures to obtain a reference to the structural element with its most derived type.
| const self_t& self | ( | ) | const [inherited] |
Accessor to the real type.
To be used by implementations in this class and derived structures to obtain a reference to the structural element with its most derived type.
