So I continued: (mod (** 9 17) 17) returns 8 It's wrong again! No...

I don't think pow is big-integer friendly - has (pow 9 17) already exceeded 64-bit integer range and converted to float? The addition of bigint into newLISP is very recent, and at the moment I don't think all arithmetic operations can handle them. newLISP isn't designed to be as maths-aware a langu...

Hi guys! I am new to newlisp, and recently I encounting a really strange problem. I type the following code in newlisp: (mod (bigint (pow 9 17)) 17) the answers ( I typed it in windows xp(32bit) and Archlinux(64bit)) is: 10 (winxp) 8 (Archlinux) but the answer should be 9.
