    • plus

      G plus(G that)
      Returns the sum of this object with the one specified.
      Parameters:
      that - the object to be added.
      Returns:
      this + that.

    • opposite

      G opposite()
      Returns the additive inverse of this object. It is the object such as this.plus(this.opposite()) == ZERO, with ZERO being the additive identity.
      Returns:
      -this.
