Is exist a similar C++-function for very large numbers, e.g., function with signature
vector<unsigned long> ilog2 (const vector<unsigned long>&)?
No.
Mostly because vector<unsigned long> is *not* a very large number
but an array of numbers, nothing more.
There may be libraries out there, which treat vector<unsigned long>,
or somthing like that embedded in a class, as a sort of very large
number. But those libraries are outside the scope of C++.

I am using vector<unsigned long> to build class BigInt
at http://groups.google.com/groups?selm....uni-berlin.de
operator+() has been defined for BigInt.
Now I would like to define operator/() as well.
operator/() seems to require using ilog2().
???
Not really.
You could do it with logarithms and power functions.
But it definitily is not necessary.
(I don't think that kids at an age of 9 use logarithms
to do divisions :-)
I don't think it is a shame to download one of the many
available BigInt libraries, study the source code, analyze
it, figure out how they do it and then adopt what you have learned
to your own class.

I have an application where I need a very simple database, effectively a
very large dictionary. The very large dictionary must be accessed from
multiple processes simultaneously. I need to be able to lock records
within the very large dictionary when records are written to. Estimated
number of records will be in the ballpark of 50,000 to 100,000 in his
early phase and 10 times that in the future. Each record will run about
100 to 150...

I've been thinking about writing a program to generate the world's
largest prime numbers, just for the fun of it. This would require being
able to hold an 8000000 digit number into memory (25 megabits, or a
little over 3 megs of memory for just one variable...) I would also
need several smaller variables. This came about as I optimised a prime
number generator more and more, until I came with the idea to try to
find the largest ever, using...

Hi,
I am trying to do some calculations on large numbers (ie
7,768,489,957,892,578,474,792,094 / 12,280) and no matter what I do it
doesn't get it quite right. Its always somewhere between 10 and and 5000 out
:(
I have a suspition is could be down to one of the number functions I am
using along the way but im not sure.

I was wondering if there is any way to store large numbers in a
variable? With this simple script:
var bigpi =

alert(bigpi);
I only get the first 17 digits and an exponent. Is there any way to
save very large numbers to a variable? I would really like to be able
to manipulate pi to a large number of decimal places (say 1,000). Is

I'm interested in writing some chem/biochem related tools for myself, but it
appears the Decimal format isn't going to quite cut it for some of the
numbers I'm going to be working with. It's max of ~10^28 is a bit shy of the
at least 10^34 precision I know I'll need at the very least.
Actually, I don't need all the precision. I simply need to be able to have
numbers that go that high. If the actual precision is only to 15 or 20 or so...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
