    Turbo C programming - integers in C

    How can I make the int in C limitless, meaning for example I can multiply 2 integers in billions and still get the correct integer answer. Please help asap...thanks.

    As far as I know that's not possible, but you can use a long integer type (i.e. long num; instead of
    int num;) to give you more room to play with.

    but our programming professor said that it is possible and even gave it to us as our project due this feb.15. The specs are we should be able to write a multiplication program that can always produce the result even if the given inputs or the result goes beyond the range of int and long int.

    mmmmm......does your professor mean it's possible to store numbers in a character array and then multiply them together bit by bit and group them together again?

    a bit abstract....

    I was just thinking that I would create a structure and use link lists to connect the values. Is it possible this way? Does anyone have a source code for this so that I can pattern from it. If there is pls. email it to me ---> [email protected] thanks.
