RE: Request for "Multiplicative Order of Y (mod X)" program

Running it after 12 ENTER 23 yields 22, but the correct answer for the period of 1/23 in base 12 (as returned by my URPL program above) is 11, as can be seen by actually writing 1/23 in base 12: 0.06316948421 06316948421 06316948421 06316948421 ... Am I misunderstanding something here? It happens. Thanks in advance for your patience. Disclaimer: My program is correct not based on any personal authority which I neither have nor have ever claimed to have, but it SEEMS TO ME to be correct based on empirical data. I only mention this due to some creepy and cryptic references recently made here and in the General Software Library about the danger of giving credence to anybody based on authority. <0|ΙΈ|0> -Joe- |
