// FILE: poly.h
// CLASS PROVIDED:
// class polynomial
// A polynomial has one variable x, real number coefficients, and
// non-negative integer exponents. Such a polynomial can be viewed
// as having the form:
// A[n]*x^n + A[n-1]*x^(n-1) + ... A[2]*x^2 + A[1]*x + A[0]
// where the A[n] are the real number coefficients and x^i represents
// the variable x raised to the i power. The coefficient A[0] is
// called the "constant" or "zeroth" term of the polynomial.
// This version works by storing the coefficients in
// a dynamic array. The coefficient for the x^k term is stored
// in location [k] of the dynamic array. When a new term is
// added beyond the current size of the array, then the
// dynamic array is replaced by a new, larger array.
// MEMBER CONSTANTS
// const size_t DEFAULT_CAPACITY
// The size of the initial array to store the coefficients.
//
// CONSTRUCTOR for the polynomial class
// POSTCONDITION: This polynomial has been create with all zero
// coefficients, the size is set to the DEFAULT_CAPACITY, and the
// current degree is set to 0.
// MODIFICATION MEMBER FUNCTIONS for the polynomial class
// void assign_coef(double coefficient, unsigned int exponent)
// POSTCONDITION: Sets the coefficient for the specified exponent.
//
// void reserve(unsigned int number)
// POSTCONDITION: The size of the array for coefficients has been changed
// to the requested number (but not less that the size needed to store the
// current non-zero coefficients). In effect, this guarantees that member
// functions will not need to allocate new memory for exponents through
// CONSTANT MEMBER FUNCTIONS for the polynomial class
// double coefficient(unsigned int exponent) const
// POSTCONDITION: Returns coefficient at specified exponent of this
// polynomial.
//
// double getsize( ) const
// POSTCONDITION: Returns size of the coef array
//
// unsigned int degree( ) const
// POSTCONDITION: The function returns the value of the largest exponent
// with a non-zero coefficient.
// If all coefficients are zero, then the function returns zero.
//
// double eval(double x) const;
// POSTCONDITION: Evaluates a polynomial with a given value of x.
// For example, given the polynomial 3x^2-7x and a value of x to be 2,
// the result would be 3 * (2^2) - 7 * (2^1) = 3 * 4 - 7 * 2 = 12 - 14 = -2
// NON-MEMBER BINARY OPERATORS for the polynomial Class
// polynomial operator -(const polynomial& p1, const polynomial& p2)
// POSTCONDITION: return-value is a polynomial with each coefficient
// equal to the difference of the coefficients of p1 & p2 for any given
// exponent.
//
// polynomial operator +(const polynomial& p1, const polynomial& p2)
// POSTCONDITION: return-value is a polynomial with each coefficient
// equal to the sum of the coefficients of p1 & p2 for any given
// exponent.
//
// NON-MEMBER OUTPUT FUNCTIONS for the polynomial Class
// ostream& operator << (ostream& out, const polynomial& p)
// POSTCONDITION: The polynomial has been printed to ostream out, which,
// in turn, has been returned to the calling function.
//
// DYNAMIC MEMORY
// Since this class uses dynamic memory, the copy constructor and assignment
// operator are written, and there is a destructor implemented.
