$\begin{usage} n::\%\\ machine~m \end{usage}$

$\begin{signatures} coerce: & \htmlref{\texttt{MachineInteger}}{MachineInteger}... ...% $\to$\ \htmlref{\texttt{MachineInteger}}{MachineInteger}\\\end{signatures}$

$\begin{params} {\em m} & \% & an element of the field\\ {\em n} & \htmlref{\texttt{MachineInteger}}{MachineInteger} & a machine integer\\\end{params}$

$\begin{retval} n::\% returns n as an element of the field and machine(m) returns m as a \htmlref{\texttt{MachineInteger}}{MachineInteger}. \end{retval}$
