| #### D.13.7.2 val Procedure from library `tropicalNewton.lib` (see tropicalNewton_lib). Usage: val(c); c number Return: int, the valuation of a element in the ground field Assume: uniformizingParameter is set and c!=0 Example:
    LIB "tropicalNewton.lib";
    // poor man's polynomials over Puiseux series:
    ring r = (0,t),x,dp;
    setUniformizingParameter(t);
    val(t2+t3);
    ==> 2
    val(t^-2+t^-3);
    ==> -3
    // poor man's polynomials over p-adic numbers:
    ring s = 0,x,dp;
    setUniformizingParameter(2);
    val(12);
    ==> 2
    val(1/12);
    ==> -2
