Determining Whether a Variable Is a Galois Array

To find out whether a variable is a Galois array rather than an ordinary MATLAB array, use the isa function. An illustration is below.

mlvar = eye(3);
gfvar = gf(mlvar,3);
no = isa(mlvar,'gf'); % False because mlvar is not a Galois array
yes = isa(gfvar,'gf'); % True because gfvar is a Galois array
