When gcd(a,m)=1, that # coefficient is the modular inverse. # # METHOD # Maintain consecutive remainders and coefficients. Update both with the Euclidean quotient; # normalize the resulting coefficient into [0,m). # # COMPLEXITY # O(log m) arithmetic steps and O(1) auxiliary space. # # CONTRACT # 0 <= a < modulus, 2 <= modulus <= 10000. Returns -1 if no inverse exists. This bounded # integer implementation is not constant time or suitable for cryptographic secrets. # Public APIs infer array lengths except in C, which accepts pointer/length pairs. Vertex # counts and matrix dimensions remain explicit. Arrays must contain signed 32-bit integers. # Sorted order, correct tree topology, and caller-owned data-structure invariants are # preconditions; checking them on every query would change query complexity. # Scalar and shape checks are included. Value-range checks are included where needed to # prevent invalid indexing or nontermination. Allocation sizes are capped at 4,000,000 # workspace entries. Arithmetic outside Python raises an error on 32-bit overflow; Python # uses arbitrary precision. Native allocation failures propagate. In-place outputs may be # partly updated after arithmetic failure. These are single-threaded, in-memory # implementations. # # LANGUAGE DETAILS # Python 3.9+: automatic lengths, native lists, arbitrary-precision arithmetic, and # bisect_left for LIS. Invalid scalar/shape inputs raise ValueError. Integer element types # and sorted/tree invariants remain caller preconditions. # # EXAMPLE # Expected return: 4. # Run: python example.py # Tests for this exact source artifact run before publication. The accompanying source # archive includes unit cases, runtime results, and source hashes. def alg_require(condition): if not condition: raise ValueError("invalid algorithm input; see contract") def alg_size(n): alg_require(0 <= n <= 4000000) return n def modular_inverse(a: int, modulus: int) -> int: alg_require(type(a) is int and -2147483648 <= a <= 2147483647) alg_require(type(modulus) is int and -2147483648 <= modulus <= 2147483647) alg_require(modulus >= 2 and modulus <= 10000 and (a >= 0) and (a < modulus)) old_r: int = modulus r: int = a old_t: int = 0 t: int = 1 quotient: int = 0 temp: int = 0 while r != 0: quotient = old_r // r temp = old_r - quotient * r old_r = r r = temp temp = old_t - quotient * t old_t = t t = temp if old_r != 1: return -1 return (old_t % modulus + modulus) % modulus a = 3 modulus = 11 result = modular_inverse(a, modulus) print(result) |
