[GAP Forum] RadicalOfAlgebra

[Ivan Andrus]

Neha,

You can use ApplicableMethod to find which function will be run from an operation.  You have to pass it the argument list, in this case just a list of the algebra you are interested in. For example

Display(ApplicableMethod(RadicalOfAlgebra,[QuaternionAlgebra(Rationals)]));

will show the function that will be used first when called on the quaternion algebra over the rationals. ApplicableMethod can also tell you much more, but that's left as an exercise to the interested reader. :-)
