- Method Detail
  - plus
```
G plus(G that)
```
    Returns the sum of this object with the one specified.
    
    Parameters:
    
    that - the object to be added.
    
    Returns:
    
    this + that.
  - opposite
```
G opposite()
```
    Returns the additive inverse of this object. It is the object such as this.plus(this.opposite()) == ZERO, with ZERO being the additive identity.
    
    Returns:
    
    -this.
