"""
This module contains the machinery handling assumptions.
All symbolic objects have assumption attributes that can be accessed via
.is_<assumption name> attribute.
Assumptions determine certain properties of symbolic objects and can
have 3 possible values: True, False, None. True is returned if the
object has the property and False is returned if it doesn't or can't
(i.e. doesn't make sense):
>>> from sympy import I
>>> I.is_algebraic
True
>>> I.is_real
False
>>> I.is_prime
False
When the property cannot be determined (or when a method is not
implemented) None will be returned, e.g. a generic symbol, x, may or
may not be positive so a value of None is returned for x.is_positive.
By default, all symbolic values are in the largest set in the given context
without specifying the property. For example, a symbol that has a property
being integer, is also real, complex, etc.
Here follows a list of possible assumption names:
.. glossary::
commutative
object commutes with any other object with
respect to multiplication operation.
complex
object can have only values from the set
of complex numbers.
imaginary
object value is a number that can be written as a real
number multiplied by the imaginary unit ``I``. See
[3]_. Please note, that ``0`` is not considered to be an
imaginary number, see
`issue #7649 <https://github.com/sympy/sympy/issues/7649>`_.
real
object can have only values from the set
of real numbers.
integer
object can have only values from the set
of integers.
odd
even
object can have only values from the set of
odd (even) integers [2]_.
prime
object is a natural number greater than ``1`` that has
no positive divisors other than ``1`` and itself. See [6]_.
composite
object is a positive integer that has at least one positive
divisor other than ``1`` or the number itself. See [4]_.
zero
object has the value of ``0``.
nonzero
object is a real number that is not zero.
rational
object can have only values from the set
of rationals.
algebraic
object can have only values from the set
of algebraic numbers [11]_.
transcendental
object can have only values from the set
of transcendental numbers [10]_.
irrational
object value cannot be represented exactly by Rational, see [5]_.
finite
infinite
object absolute value is bounded (arbitrarily large).
See [7]_, [8]_, [9]_.
negative
nonnegative
object can have only negative (nonnegative)
values [1]_.
positive
nonpositive
object can have only positive (only
nonpositive) values.
hermitian
antihermitian
object belongs to the field of hermitian
(antihermitian) operators.
Examples
========
>>> from sympy import Symbol
>>> x = Symbol('x', real=True); x
x
>>> x.is_real
True
>>> x.is_complex
True

Notes
=====
Assumption values are stored in obj._assumptions dictionary or
are returned by getter methods (with property decorators) or are
attributes of objects/classes.

Find the truth value for a property of an object.
This function is called when a request is made to see what a fact
value is.
For this we use several techniques:
First, the fact-evaluation function is tried, if it exists (for
example _eval_is_integer). Then we try related facts. For example
rational --> integer
another example is joined rule:
integer & !odd --> even
so in the latter case if we are looking at what 'even' value is,
'integer' and 'odd' facts will be asked.
In all cases, when we settle on some fact value, its implications are
deduced, and the result is cached in ._assumptions.
