## Detailed Description

Ring of congruence classes modulo n.

This implementation represents each congruence class as the smallest non-negative integer in that class.

`const Element&` returned by member functions are references to internal data members. Since each object may have only one such data member for holding results, the following code will produce incorrect results:

        abcd = group.Add(group.Add(a,b), group.Add(c,d));

But this should be fine:

        abcd = group.Add(a, group.Add(b, group.Add(c,d));
