This is my code for the Extended Euclidean Algorthim which should return integer l, polynomials pi,ri,si,ti for 0<=i<=l+1. And polynomial qi for 1<=i<=l such that si(f)+ti(g) = ri and sl(f)+tl(g)=rl=GCD(f,g).
The problem is, I keep getting division by zero. Also it evaluates pi = lcoeff(ri-1 - qiri) to be zero, everytime. Even when I remove this it still says there is a division of zero, which must be coming from qi:=quo(ri-1,ri, x); however I do not know why considering the requirements for the loop are that r[i] not equal zero. I really could use a fresh pair of eyes to see what I've done wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
