I recently wrote a program for quickly finding quadratic residues in Maple;
quadres := proc (n::posint)
global k, L, Sorting;
Sorting := proc (X)
global Y, i, j, z;
Y := X;
for i to nops(Y)-1 do
for j to nops(Y)-i do
if Y[j+1] <= Y[j] then z := Y[j]; Y[j] := Y[j+1]; Y[j+1] := z end
if end do end do;
eval(Y) end proc;
for k from 0 to n-1 do
mod(k^2, n) end do;L := [seq(
mod(k^2, n), k = 1 .. (1/2)*n-1/2)];Sorting(L);
print(n = Sorting(L))
end proc;
My question is this. I want to convert this to a point plot program so that I can plot larger numbers of data to look for patterns. The axes will be moduli (x-axis) vs. residues (y-axis). Thus, for moduli 2,3,4,and 5, the ordered pairs will be $$\{(3,1),(4,1),(5,1),(5,4),(6,1),(6,4), (7,1),(7,2),(7,4)\}$$. Any thoughts on how to write the program would be helpful. I'm a novice with Maple, but catch on quick.
