Swell. In the document, whose link you sent me, and which I have read before, it is mentioned that Function: mpz_class operator% (mpz_class a, mpz_class d) This means, that the % operator in GMP overloads the usual % operator in C++. Correctamente. Just to recall you, for integer a and b, b > 0, the result of the modulus operator is an integer in the range 0..b-1. If a is negative, the result is equal to (k*b + a) % b for any positive integer k making the expression (k*b + a) positive. By definition for a >= 0 and b > 0, we have a = q*b + (a % b), where q is an integer called quotient. Right, but that is irrelevant since % is not a mathematical modulus operator. Did you not just say you were "very well familiar" with it? Did you *really* read the page Marc pointed you to. This is all mentioned there. Please do read it and get on with your life. -- Torbjörn Please encrypt, key id 0xC8601622 _______________________________________________ gmp-bugs mailing list gmp-bugs@gmplib.org https://gmplib.org/mailman/listinfo/gmp-bugs
