Steps To Reproduce
Check this out:
sage: is_square(Mod(2, 101010))
False
sage: sqrt(Mod(2, 101010),all=True)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NotImplementedError Traceback (most recent call last)
Expected Behavior
Sage should simply return []
, ie. an empty list of roots (as there are none exist). In fact, a reason (which I believe is tested by is_squre()
) is very simple: the modulus 101010
is divisible by 3
, while 2
is not a square modulo 3
.
Actual Behavior
Raises NotImplemented
, while is_square()
easily establishes that there are no solutions.
Additional Information
Btw, sqrt(Mod(2, 101010))
(ie. without all=True
) returns a weird/incorrect result, which I submit as another issue #38803.
Environment
- OS: Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS
- Sage Version: 10.5.beta6
