    problem with large number factorial calculation

    I need to calculate 100!. And I want to use vector instead of array.

    Can anybody give me an example of vector. So that I can try it for calculate 100!. I'm using Turbo C.

    Interesting, did you join this forum because it features highly in mentions of "Turbo C" ?

    FWIW, your compiler is obsolete.

    Try something developed AFTER the standards were released, and up to date for your operating system.
    Microsoft Express Downloads - Visual Studio Express and SQL Server Express
    Code::Blocks
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    Neither vectors nor arrays are going to help you calculate 100!, that is, unless you are writing a bignum library. In which case, you should already know how vector works.

    If you are not writing a bignum library, then that's what you need to be looking for. GMP is the best for Linux. iMalc's is the easiest, IMHO, to use on Windows.
