Exercise 1.25: Alyssa P. Hacker complains that
|
||
|
|
we went to a lot of extra work in writing expmod. After all, she says,
|
||
|
|
since we already know how to compute exponentials, we could have simply written
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(define (expmod base exp m)
|
||
|
|
(remainder (fast-expt base exp) m))
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Is she correct? Would this procedure serve as well for our fast prime tester?
|
||
|
|
Explain.
