I just wanted to define another name for the match. But stupidly i did it backwards. I meant to say y=:x . It really amazed me how a relatively simple problem of determining equivalence got blown up in such a big deal.
I had stumbled onto the addition and multiplication using residues a while back, but only found this page recently as everywhere I looked before I got routed to cryptography or elliptic integrals. I had found a way to convert the residue list back to a number. Not to bad, but some interesting twists and turns. It's really weird! Something like this is what got me started. 13 17 221|~table p:i.6 +---+-------------+ ||~ |2 3 5 7 11 13| +---+-------------+ | 13|1 1 3 6 2 0| | 17|1 2 2 3 6 4| |221|1 2 1 4 1 0| +---+-------------+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
