Finite Fields in raku

Finite Fields Aritmetics in raku

use FiniteField;
my $*modulus = 13;

say 10 + 5;  # 2
say 10 / 3;  # 12  (3*12 = 36 = 13*2 + 10)

Notes

• The dynamic variable $*modulus must be defined before calling any overloaded operator, otherwise the program will crash (no exception is handled so far).
• Modular division will not check for primality of modulus or any other requirements.
• Define a modulus for each lexical scopes you import the module in.
• Althouh the name of this repo is using a plural, the name of the module itself is singular, because you only use one finite field at a time.
• The main purpose of this module is to make writing cryptographic code easier.

finite-fields-raku's Issues

Release to fez and remove from p6c

Hi,

from what I can see, currently, this module is available both in the "zef ecosystem" and p6c - however, the p6c version is more up-to-date. Please make releases using fez and then this repository can be removed from the old master list which is really a legacy thing.

Thank you.

Module will not currently install

The issue that jumps out immediately is that there is no META6.json file, However, there are other problems, as illustrated in this output from my attempt to install:
