maximum storage in int variables

how can i store 30 digits number in an int variable. if it is possible, then plz help me regarding this problem.

Not in an int, unfortunately which is a 32 bit number. Use an __int64 [max - 18,446,744,073,709,551,615] (20 digits) Nish p.s. for 30 digits, you'd have to create your own class or struct!

You'll need the new Platform SDK or VC++.NET Nish

No, __int64 is a native (but non-standard) datatype available in VC6 as well. Tomasz Sowinski -- http://www.shooltz.com

Do you actually need to do mathematical operations on this number, or is it just to store it. If you just need to store, then you could put it in a string or char array -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

Do you want to store a telephone number or similar why don´t you use a string or as mentioned a selfwritten class, where you can define some operations as comparesion. Have a lot of fun:-D
