Finite Fields Aritmetics in raku
use FiniteField;
$*modulus = 13;
say 10+5; # 2
say 10/3; # 12 (3*12 = 36 = 13*2 + 10)
Notes
The dynamic variable
$*modulus
must be defined before calling any overloaded operator, otherwise the program will crash (no exception is handled so far).Modular division will not check for primality of modulus or any other requirements.
Define a modulus for each lexical scopes you import the module in.
Althouh the name of this repo is using a plural, the name of the module itself is singular, because you only use one finite field at a time.
The main purpose of this module is to make writing cryptographic code easier.
