Input/Output
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The variable strings in *x* start with the variable of most significance at index `0`. If *x* is ``NULL``, the variables are named ``x1``, ``x2``, etc.

    Return `1` if all entries of the exponent vector of the term of index `i` fit into an ``slong`` (resp. a ``ulong``). Otherwise, return `0`.

    The ``_ui`` (resp. ``_si``) version throws if any entry does not fit into a ``ulong`` (resp. ``slong``).

.. function:: ulong fq_nmod_mpoly_get_term_var_exp_ui(const fq_nmod_mpoly_t A, slong i, slong var, const fq_nmod_mpoly_ctx_t ctx)

    This function runs in linear time in the bit size of *A*.

.. function:: void fq_nmod_mpoly_combine_like_terms(fq_nmod_mpoly_t A, const fq_nmod_mpoly_ctx_t ctx)

    with ``fq_nmod_mpoly_t`` coefficients in the remaining variables. These functions
    are useful when one wants to rewrite an element of `\mathbb{F}_q[x_1, \dots, x_m]`
    as an element of `(\mathbb{F}_q[x_1, \dots, x_{v-1}, x_{v+1}, \dots, x_m])[x_v]`
