Exercise 8 from Chapter 3 of the textbook (p.143)
(to do with using an ADT for a polynomial)

Solution

1. P.Coefficient (P.Degree ())
   

2. P.ChangeCoefficient (P.Coefficient (3)+8, 3)
   

3. // to compute: R = P + Q
   
   // find maximum degree
   int MaxDegree = P.Degree () > Q.Degree () ? P.Degree () : Q.Degree ();
   
   // loop through and add coefficients
   for ( int i=0; i<=MaxDegree; i++ ) // loop through coefficients
   {
      R.ChangeCoefficient (P.Coefficient (i)+Q.Coefficient (i), i);
   }
