"""
This script implements the Solovay-Strassen Primality test.
This probabilistic primality test is based on Euler's criterion. It is similar
to the Fermat test but uses quadratic residues. It can quickly identify
composite numbers but may occasionally classify composite numbers as prime.
More details and concepts about this can be found on:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solovay%E2%80%93Strassen_primality_test

def jacobi_symbol(random_a: int, number: int) -> int:
"""
Calculate the Jacobi symbol. The Jacobi symbol is a generalization
of the Legendre symbol, which can be used to simplify computations involving
quadratic residues. The Jacobi symbol is used in primality tests, like the
Solovay-Strassen test, because it helps determine if an integer is a
quadratic residue modulo a given modulus, providing valuable information
about the number's potential primality or compositeness.
Parameters:
random_a: A randomly chosen integer from 2 to n-2 (inclusive)
number: The number that is tested for primality
Returns:
jacobi_symbol: The Jacobi symbol is a mathematical function
used to determine whether an integer is a quadratic residue modulo
another integer (usually prime) or not.
