Largest Number You've Computed?

[Lost User]

It isn't. Mersenne primes always have prime exponents.

Nice! Thank goodness for BigInteger.

I figured. But the other distracted me. :)

Try counting from infinity backwards.

double.PositiveInfinity[^] A larger number isn't possible!

That isn't a number!

When I was in college, we had a professor who had an interest in large primes. Out of a 4 x 8 sheet of plywood, we made him a giant "2" and presented it to him as an award for something. Does that count?

I tried. But there's nothing out there.

I just computed the number of solutions (all solutions, not optimal ones) to the problem where this[^] was a solution (ie all coverings of the yellow cells with rectangles): 45784610596850816446599940930767916773480082964755799235445406076489339495199306 75894632264393946366064079016685237062250355511270045107847351110104043603327350 40030852263702858067598184403524385716937791795799506954654612463217212201690360 70982548681649300109601170578438603135655410339180977750692518018138012707693373 7505003365

Scissors cuts paper, paper covers rock, rock crushes lizard, lizard poisons Spock, Spock smashes scissors, scissors decapitates lizard, lizard eats paper, paper disproves Spock, Spock vaporizes rock, and as it always has, rock crushes scissors. :)

With my bignum functions, I limited the usable size to 63356 bits (8192 BYTES or 2048 DWORDS), however the code can be expanded to hold the BIT count of a number in a DWORD. These functions include ADD, SUB, MUL, DIV, SQRT, AND, OR, XOR, Input long number (any base 2 to 64) and export any number (any base 2 to 64). OBTW they are fast - in MASM. Dave.

[Thomas Daniels]

Easy!

UInt64 i = (ulong)Int64.MaxValue + 1;

True.  If you want to lose half the range of possible values. :) /ravi

Easy: this version[^] works in .NET 1.0! ;P

By the way, a code block can't be collapsed in messages, only in questions, answers and articles.

Stupid! If you can collapse them in one place, you should be able to collapse in all. Sometimes, I get teh feeling there are too many different codes for doing the same thing on this site... :laugh:

There's just one place to tell that[^]
