How can I represent a 22-digit integer in C? float is not large enough.
Thanks!

begin followup to KC: How can I represent a 22-digit integer in C?
Is that 22 digits in decimal radix?
$ echo 'scale=3; l(10)/l(2)*22' | bc -ql
73.062
Requires significantly more than 64 bits so 'long long' does not help.
float is not large enough.
float is typically 32 bits for both mantissa and exponent giving
about 7 decimal digits. double extends that to about 15.
The built-in data types of C are not enough for your problem. http://www.swox.com/gmp/

Standard C does not have a type guaranteed to satisfy you on all
conforming implementations .
It is possible that you could find an implementation that runs on
your system with 128 bit long long that would work.
More likely, you can use one of the numerous "bignum"
implementations which use only standard features and are therefore
extremely portable. I have played with CLINT from Richard Heathfield
at www.rjgh.co.uk. It is free and I think it will do what you want.

Since the range of 22-digit integers in approximately pow(2,69.8) to
pow(2,73.1), find an implementation that has a type with 70+ bits to
represent *some* 22-digit integers, or 74+ bits to represent *all* the
22-digit integers.
You could join together two or more shorter integer types in a struct,
or, if you don't want to do that, find a free open-source bignum library
on the web. There are some googlehints in that last clause.
You can -
Try a linked list implementation, with possibly a long integer as a
member, if you want to learn. It would be fun.
- Or -
Use any of the suggested libraries in the prev. replies if you want the
job done right away.
All the best.

I proposed python as the main language for our next CAD/CAM

something I'll need in this case is some experience-based set

What's the difference between a large or small database? A table is a
table, a record is a record, a field is a field. All you are doing is
manipulating data in tables. I wouldn't think it'd make much difference
in working with a table with 10 records or a billion records...they're

Hi,
I am calculating an integer to the pwer of a large integer, e.g.
2^5000.
It turns out that the result I always get is zero. I am sure that the
result is too large to store in such type as u_int64_t and long int
etc.
My power function is as follows: for(i=0; i<5000; i++) result *= 2;

This is about a technique to find the mod of a very large integer with a normal small integer.
I recently encountered this problem when I needed to compute the modulus of a very large number with a normal integer. I needed this in a C++ program running on a 32-bit UNIX platform. The problem was that the number was 28 digits long and no native datatype in c++ could store a number of that size.
