CPolynomial:Copy

The Copy method duplicates the polynomial coefficients and returns the new copy.

P = CPolynomial:Copy()

P is a new CPolynomial containing the same coefficients as the current one.

The following script duplicates the coefficient set P into a new set P2:

P = new_polynomial()	-- create a CPolynomial
P:Set( 0, 5.5 )	-- set coef[0]
P:Set( 1, 0.144 )	-- set coef[1]
P:Set( 4, -1.045e-6)	-- set coef[4]
P2 = P:Copy()	-- creates a duplicate coefficient set named P2
Printf("N = %d", P2:Count())	-- result: N = 3
P:delete()	-- if finished with P, clean up memory
