Yes, as I said it starts automatically but it must have no descriptive
comment above the cell. That is a worksheet with only one naked cell
and no description in it.
That's why I suggested to start a new worksheet

Thanks. Does your version automatically start up when you upload the
worksheet?
Your version works like mine but doesn't start automatically for me
like mine still.
cs
Yes, it's exactly what I needed. I wasn't aware of the type
distinction between integers and integers mod m. What I needed to use
is the lift method:
s=pow(2,11,23)
[type(s),type(s.lift())]
[,
]
Thank you!

If you take a look at the code, there is something fishy. Add the
following statements.
def sum_of_squares(p):
if p.mod(4)==1:
A=startingA(p)
print A
B=1
temp = A**2+B**2
print type(A**2+B**2)
temp
M=(A**2+B**2)/p
while M>1:

Hello. I'm trying to implement the algorithm for representing primes
congruent to 1 mod 4 as a sum of squares and I know the logic of the
algebra is right (identical equations work in Mathematica). However,
I get a "ZeroDivisionError: Inverse does not exist." error when I
evaluate the expression

Thank, that helped a lot. In Python documentation I found the
solution.
