My guess for the largest value would be ((9! raised to 9!) raised to 9!). /ravi

That's OK. Everyone knows:    ASSERT (me == !cool);    ASSERT ((me & cool) == NULL); :) /ravi

As long as you're not restricted to Base 10, in Base Infinity the answer is infinity. :)

I generally write all values and code with only the five digits on my right hand; using only three won't alter that very much. In fact I could just use one digit to hold down the 9 key for a while... 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 Ok, now that digit is tired.

Is infinity a value?

Well, I can grasp a pencil between my thumb and two fingers (that's three digits!) and write any number I wish! Ha!
