( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

I can get a modular reciprocal with Pari easily enough, eg:

use Math::Pari qw/ PARI Mod /; my($n, $p) = map PARI($_), (3, 17); my $recip = PARI(1) / Mod($n, $p); print "1 / $n == $recip\n";
1 / 3 == Mod(6,17)

The result "Mod(6,17)" is a modular value, representing the equivalence class of integers equivalent to 6 (mod 17), and that's great.

However I now want to get the "6" out of there as an integer for further work, i.e. to get the "common residue" of that modular number. I haven't found anything in the Math::Pari or Pari/GP docs that tells how to do that, and everything I've tried gives an error:

$int = int($recip); PARI: *** incorrect type in comparison. at -e line 1. $int = pari2num($recip); PARI: *** forbidden assignment t_INTMOD --> t_REAL. at -e line 1. $int = pari2iv($recip); PARI: *** incorrect type in gtolong. at -e line 1.

I could pull the value out with a regexp, but that would be silly. Surely there is a simple, efficient way to do this?

If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
