Definition of ZMod n
+ basic results. #
This file provides the basic details of ZMod n
, including its commutative ring structure.
Implementation details #
This used to be inlined into Data.ZMod.Basic
. This file imports CharP.Basic
, which is an
issue; all CharP
instances create an Algebra (ZMod p) R
instance; however, this instance may
not be definitionally equal to other Algebra
instances (for example, GaloisField
also has an
Algebra
instance as it is defined as a SplittingField
). The way to fix this is to use the
forgetful inheritance pattern, and make CharP
carry the data of what the smul
should be (so
for example, the smul
on the GaloisField
CharP
instance should be equal to the smul
from
its SplittingField
structure); there is only one possible ZMod p
algebra for any p
, so this
is not an issue mathematically. For this to be possible, however, we need CharP.Basic
to be
able to import some part of ZMod
.
Ring structure on Fin n
#
We define a commutative ring structure on Fin n
.
Afterwards, when we define ZMod n
in terms of Fin n
, we use these definitions
to register the ring structure on ZMod n
as type class instance.

Note this is more general than Fin.instCommRing
as it applies (vacuously) to Fin 0
too.
