## Definition

Computes the principal leading coefficients of the Sturm-Habicht sequence of a polynomials \( f\) of type `PolynomialTraits_d::Polynomial_d` with respect a certain variable \( x_i\). This means that for the \( j\)-th Sturm-Habicht polynomial, this methods returns the coefficient of \( x_i^j\).

Note that the degree of the \( j\)-th Sturm-Habicht polynomial is at most \( j\), but the principal coefficient might be zero, thus, this functor does not necessarily give the leading coefficient of the Sturm-Habicht polynomials.

In case that `PolynomialTraits_d::Coefficient_type` is `RealEmbeddable`, the function `CGAL::number_of_real_roots` can be used on the resulting sequence to count the number of distinct real roots of the polynomial \( f\).

Note
  This functor is optional.
