Hi... My name is Jay and I'm new to this forum. And I'm writing my first GAP code; Basically I'm trying to find the number of a times a number "p" can be divided by a prime number "n" such that "p|n" is an integer. The program seems pretty trivial but every time it executes it keeps giving me zero regardless of the input. If somebody can just tell me where i went wrong with my code. Thank you. The code is as folows:
PowerofpDividingn := function(p,n) local x, count, ans; count :=0; for x in [1..p] do ans := p/n; if ans in Integers then count := count + 1; fi; p := ans; od; return count; end; _______________________________________________ Forum mailing list Forum@mail.gap-system.org http://mail.gap-system.org/mailman/listinfo/forum
