Pah, mathematicians and their generally applicable pure approach to solutions and fancy modulus operations, who needs 'em? Computing is applied and we always work with well-defined finite precision. Granted, writing the boilerplate for all possible 64 bit integers is a bit laborious, but we're programmers! That's what code generation is for.
If it works it works. You mathematicians just don't understand the pragmatics. What is tech debt?
I've been trying to figure out roughly how many lines of code that would equal out to but I've run out of fingers.
Ah, common issue. When that happens, you just start using your toes.
You can generate the code with a simple macro.
