def rational_type(f, n=ZZ(3), base_ring=ZZ):
    r"""
    Return the basic analytic properties that can be determined
    directly from the specified rational function ``f``
    which is interpreted as a representation of an
    element of a FormsRing for the Hecke Triangle group
    with parameter ``n`` and the specified ``base_ring``.

    In particular the following degree of the generators is assumed:

    `deg(1) := (0, 1)`
    `deg(x) := (4/(n-2), 1)`
    `deg(y) := (2n/(n-2), -1)`
    `deg(z) := (2, -1)`

    The meaning of homogeneous elements changes accordingly.

    INPUT:

    - ``f``               - A rational function in ``x,y,z,d`` over ``base_ring``.
    - ``n``               - An integer greater or equal to ``3`` corresponding
                           to the ``HeckeTriangleGroup`` with that parameter
                           (default: ``3``).
    - ``base_ring```      - The base ring of the corresponding forms ring, resp.
                            polynomial ring (default: ``ZZ``).

    OUTPUT:
    
    A tuple ``(elem, h**o, k, ep, analytic_type)`` describing the basic
    analytic properties of ``f`` (with the interpretation indicated above).
    
    - ``elem``            - ``True`` if ``f`` has a homogeneous denominator.
    - ``h**o``            - ``True`` if ``f`` also has a homogeneous numerator.
    - ``k``               - ``None`` if ``f`` is not homogeneneous, otherwise
                            the weight of ``f`` (which is the first component
                            of its degree).
    - ``ep``              - ``None`` if ``f`` is not homogeneous, otherwise
                            the multiplier of ``f`` (which is the second component
                            of its degree)
    - ``analytic_type``   - The ``AnalyticType`` of ``f``.

    For the zero function the degree ``(0, 1)`` is choosen.

    This function is (heavily) used to determine the type of elements
    and to check if the element really is contained in its parent.

def rational_type(f, n=ZZ(3), base_ring=ZZ):
    r"""
    Return the basic analytic properties that can be determined
    directly from the specified rational function ``f``
    which is interpreted as a representation of an
    element of a FormsRing for the Hecke Triangle group
    with parameter ``n`` and the specified ``base_ring``.

    In particular the following degree of the generators is assumed:

    `deg(1) := (0, 1)`
    `deg(x) := (4/(n-2), 1)`
    `deg(y) := (2n/(n-2), -1)`
    `deg(z) := (2, -1)`

    The meaning of homogeneous elements changes accordingly.

    INPUT:

    - ``f``              -- A rational function in ``x,y,z,d`` over ``base_ring``.

    - ``n``              -- An integer greater or equal to `3` corresponding
                            to the ``HeckeTriangleGroup`` with that parameter
                            (default: `3`).

    - ``base_ring``      -- The base ring of the corresponding forms ring, resp.
                            polynomial ring (default: ``ZZ``).

    OUTPUT:

    A tuple ``(elem, h**o, k, ep, analytic_type)`` describing the basic
    analytic properties of `f` (with the interpretation indicated above).

    - ``elem``           -- ``True`` if `f` has a homogeneous denominator.

    - ``h**o``           -- ``True`` if `f` also has a homogeneous numerator.

    - ``k``              -- ``None`` if `f` is not homogeneous, otherwise
                            the weight of `f` (which is the first component
                            of its degree).

    - ``ep``             -- ``None`` if `f` is not homogeneous, otherwise
                            the multiplier of `f` (which is the second component
                            of its degree)

    - ``analytic_type``  -- The ``AnalyticType`` of `f`.

    For the zero function the degree `(0, 1)` is choosen.

    This function is (heavily) used to determine the type of elements
    and to check if the element really is contained in its parent.
