I have been making a planetary program to predict the paths of the planets.. but I'm working with very large values because I'm using meters as measurement(for compatability with the formula's) and also kilograms. So that means I'm using values to the 5e30, and then plugging them into the equations, I'm working with numbers as large as 5e60.
However my Dev-Cpp compiler doesn't seem like it can handle values this large. I do not care for precision... I just want to be able to compute these values. Thank you!
Error Messages:
150 integer constant is too large for "long" type
that's about all the error messages I get .. that is the only error I'm getting. here's the code, I know it's hard to follow, and can be simplified, but it's there. It usually pulls up this error right where masses of the planets are being calculated, where it's drawing the images in drawscene(), and where the values for mass, x_position, and y_velocity are being initialized.
BTW, this is for a HS senior project.
