NAME
pmod - integral power of an integer modulo a specified integer
SYNOPSIS
pmod(x, n, md)
TYPES
x integer
n nonnegative integer
md integer
return integer
DESCRIPTION
pmod(x, n, md) returns the integer value of the canonical residue
of x^n modulo md, where the set of canonical residues is determined
by md and bits 0, 2, and 4 of config("mod") (other bits are ignored).
If md is zero, the value is simply x^n.
For nonzero md, the canonical residues v modulo md are as follows:
config("mod") md > 0 md < 0
0 0 < v < md md < v < 0
1 -md < v < 0 0 < v < -md
4 0 < v < md 0 < v < -md
5 -md < v < 0 md < v < 0
16 -md/2 < v <= md/2 md/2 <= v < -md/2
17 -md/2 <= v < md/2 md/2 < v <= -md/2
20 -md/2 < v <= md/2 md/2 < v <= -md/2
21 -md/2 <= v < md/2 md/2 <= v < -md/2
EXAMPLE
> c = config("mod",0)
> print pmod(2,3,10), pmod(2,5,10), pmod(2,3,-10), pod(2,5,-10)
8 2 -2 -8
> c = config("mod",16)
> print pmod(2,3,10), pmod(2,5,10), pmod(2,3,-10), pmod(2,5,-10)
-2 2 -2 2
