Nice challenge @willwam845!
@ngoctnq This is indeed weird in my opinion. It does work for ord = 6, or without specifying an order in my case
sage: discrete_log(Mod(23, 7 * 13), Mod(4, 7 * 13), ord=6) 5 sage: discrete_log(Mod(23, 7 * 13), Mod(4, 7 * 13)) 5But as the doc states:
ord - integer (multiple of order of base, or None), any multiple should work… but it doesn’t…
I’m not totally clear about what the edit: Ok nevermind, I think I figured out why one might want to do that (especially in this case)ord parameter actually exists for, though-- doesn’t sage automatically calculate it?
And in @ngoctnq’s example, the integer edit: order ≠ base, nevermind6*12 isn’t a multiple of the base, so why would it be expected to work?
