Example: Notated the program as being C++ - this is NOT valid C, C has no concept of references as used in the parameters of new_xab.

Consider, for example, the group generated by 2 modulo <math>N=1019</math> (the order of the group is <math>n=1018</math>, 2
generates the group of units modulo 1019). The algorithm is implemented by the following [[C++ (programming language)|C++]] program:
