However, all of them are called ideals. Mathematicians tend to use the expression ideal also for subgroups of the group reduct of the nearring. <font face="Gill Sans,Helvetica,Arial">GAP</font> does not allow that. <p> Left, right or twosided ideals in <font face="Gill Sans,Helvetica,Arial">GAP</font> form their own category <code>IsNRI</code>. Whenever a left, right or twosided ideal is constructed it lies in this category. The objects in this category are what <font face="Gill Sans,Helvetica,Arial">GAP</font> considers as ideals. We will refer to them as <code>NRI</code>s. <p> All the functions in this chapter can be applied to all types of nearrings. <p> The functions described in this chapter can be found in the source files <code>nrid.g?</code>, <code>idlatt.g?</code> and <code>nrconstr.g?</code>. <p> <p> <h2><a name="SECT001">6.1 Construction of nearring ideals</a></h2> <p><p> There are several ways to construct ideals in nearrings. <code>NearRingLeftIdealByGenerators</code>, <code>NearRingRightIdealByGenerators</code> and <code>NearRingIdealByGenerators</code> can be used to construct (left / right) ideals generated by a subset of the nearring. <code>NearRingLeftIdealBySubgroupNC</code>, <code>NearRingRightIdealBySubgroupNC</code> and <code>NearRingIdealBySubgroupNC</code> construct (left / right) ideals from a subgroup of the group reduct of the nearring which is an ideal. Finally <code>NearRingLeftIdeals</code>, <code>NearRingRightIdeals</code> and <code>NearRingIdeals</code> compute lists of all (left / right) ideals of a nearring. <p> <a name = "SECT001"></a> <li><code>NearRingIdealByGenerators( </code><var>nr</var><code>, </code><var>gens</var><code> )</code> <p> The function <code>NearRingIdealByGenerators</code> takes as arguments a nearring <var>nr</var> and a list <var>gens</var> of arbitrarily many elements of <var>nr</var>.
