### 5.3.1 degBound

`Type:`
  int
`Purpose:`
  The standard basis computation is stopped if the total (weighted) degree exceeds `degBound` - used in `std`, `slimgb`, `system("verifyGB",..)`, `mres`,`nres`.
  `degBound` should not be used for a global ordering with inhomogeneous input, if the ordering is not `dp` or `Dp`. (Remark: elimination requires always an eliminiation ordering).
  Reset this bound by setting `degBound` to 0.
  The exact meaning of "degree" depends on the ring ordering and the command: `slimgb` uses always the total degree with weights 1, `std` does so for block orderings, only.
`Example:`

      degBound = 7;
      option();
      ==> //options for 'std'-command: degBound
      ideal j=std(i);
      degBound;
      ==> 7
      degBound = 0; //resets degree bound to infinity

See deg; int; mres; nres; option; slimgb; std; system.
