Step by Step solution about How to resolve the algorithm Tonelli-Shanks algorithm step by step in the Julia programming language

The Julia code implements Tonelli-Shanks algorithm to find square roots modulo a prime number.

The Tonelli-Shanks algorithm is an algorithm for computing square roots modulo a prime number. Given a prime number p and an integer n, the algorithm computes an integer x such that x^2 ≡ n (mod p).

The algorithm works by first checking if n is a square modulo p. If it is not, then the algorithm fails. Otherwise, the algorithm proceeds as follows:

1. Find the smallest integer s such that 2^s ≡ p-1 (mod p).
2. Set z to an integer such that z^2 ≡ n (mod p).
3. Set c to z^q, where q is the quotient of p-1 by 2^s.
4. Set r to n^(q+1)/2 (mod p).
5. Set t to n^q (mod p).
6. Set m to s.
7. While t-1 is not divisible by p, do the following:
   • Set t2 to t^2 (mod p).
   • Set i to the smallest integer such that t2-1 is divisible by p.
   • Set b to c^(1 << (m-i-1)) (mod p).
   • Set r to r * b (mod p).
   • Set c to b^2 (mod p).
   • Set t to t * c (mod p).
   • Set m to i.
8. Return r and p-r.

The Julia code implements the above algorithm in the solve function. The solve function takes two arguments: n, the integer for which we want to find a square root modulo p, and p, the prime modulus. The function returns a tuple of two integers, r and p-r, such that r^2 ≡ n (mod p) and (p-r)^2 ≡ n (mod p).

The code also includes some examples of how to use the solve function. The following is the output of the code:
