{{libheader|IntXLib4Pascal}}
A console application in Free Pascal, created with the Lazarus IDE.
Pascal has no built-in support for arbitrarily large integers. The program below requires integers larger than 64 bits, and therefore uses an external library. The code could easily be adapted to solve the negative Pell equation x^2 - n*y^2 = -1, or show that no solution exists.
<syntaxhighlight lang="pascal">
program Pell_console;
uses SysUtils,
uIntX; // uIntX is a unit in the library IntXLib4Pascal.
// uIntX.TIntX is an arbitrarily large integer.
// For the given n: if there are non-trivial solutions of x^2 - n*y^2 = 1
// in non-negative integers (x,y), return the smallest.
// Else return the trivial solution (x,y) = (1,0).

then p^2 - n*q^2 = 1, and there is no solution to x^2 - n*y^2 = -1.
Else p^2 - n*q^2 = -1, and to get a solution to x^2 - n*y^2 = 1 we can
either continue until we return to (c,d) = (m,1) for the second time,
or use the short cut below.

You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Pell's equation (also called the Pell–Fermat equation) is a Diophantine equation of the form:
- x2 - ny2 = 1
with integer solutions for x and y, where n is a given non-square positive integer.
- Task requirements
-
- find the smallest solution in positive integers to Pell's equation for n = {61, 109, 181, 277}.
- See also

Pascal
A console application in Free Pascal, created with the Lazarus IDE.
Pascal has no built-in support for arbitrarily large integers. The program below requires integers larger than 64 bits, and therefore uses an external library. The code could easily be adapted to solve the negative Pell equation x^2 - n*y^2 = -1, or show that no solution exists.
program Pell_console;
uses SysUtils,
uIntX; // uIntX is a unit in the library IntXLib4Pascal.
// uIntX.TIntX is an arbitrarily large integer.
// For the given n: if there are non-trivial solutions of x^2 - n*y^2 = 1
// in non-negative integers (x,y), return the smallest.
// Else return the trivial solution (x,y) = (1,0).
procedure SolvePell( n : integer; out x, y : uIntX.TIntX);
var
m, a, c, d : integer;
p, q, p_next, q_next, p_prev, q_prev : uIntX.TIntX;
evenNrSteps : boolean;
begin
if (n >= 0) then m := Trunc( Sqrt( 1.0*n + 0.5)) // or use Rosetta Code Isqrt
else m := 0;
if n <= m*m then begin // if n is not a positive non-square
x := 1; y := 0; exit; // return a trivial solution
end;
c := m; d := 1;
p := 1; q := 0;
p_prev := 0; q_prev := 1;
a := m;
evenNrSteps := true;
repeat
// Get the next convergent p/q in the continued fraction for sqrt(n)
p_next := a*p + p_prev;
q_next := a*q + q_prev;
p_prev := p; p := p_next;
q_prev := q; q := q_next;
// Get the next term a in the continued fraction for sqrt(n)

{
If the first return to (c,d) = (m,1) occurs after an even number of steps,
then p^2 - n*q^2 = 1, and there is no solution to x^2 - n*y^2 = -1.
Else p^2 - n*q^2 = -1, and to get a solution to x^2 - n*y^2 = 1 we can
either continue until we return to (c,d) = (m,1) for the second time,
or use the short cut below.
