(35S) Pell's Equation Programme
The programme finds the primitive integer solution of Pell’s equation
x^2 – D * y^2 = ± 1
for integer input D and 1 or -1 for solution of the +1 or -1 case respectively.

For input 13 & 1 the programme returns [649, 180, 1] & indeed
649^2 – 13 * 180^2 = 1
Similarly input 13 & -1 returns [18, 5, -1] &
18^2 – 13 * 5^2 = -1
Input 7 & -1 returns 0, indicating that
x^2 – 7 * y^2 = -1
has no integer solutions for x & y.
