    How to handle numbers beyond long long int?

    How would I go about handling extremely large numbers? Is there anything out there ready-made that I could just.. copy-paste? hehe.

    Oh also if there's any "explaining", then you must do it like you would to a 5.y.o. *hat*

    Be prepared for a lot of new learning.
    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.

    You could also try the C++-oriented boost multiprecision (which can actually use GMP as a backend).
