What type of variable would you use if the variable may be a sixty digit number.
Depends: do you need all sixty digits accurately, or is 1.45697e59 good enough? If the latter, there's always double; if the former, well, today we learn how to write a new data type. (Or learn how to use a library that already has done so.)
That depends on a whole heaps of answers to questions I can't be bothered asking today.Quote:

You want to start reading the manual at page 17; the integer functions start at page 30.Quote:
