very long numbers

[Selevercin]

Hi! Is there perhaps a header file that I could use that would allow me to use very long numbers in my calculations? Something that could take up to 20 digits would be nice, though more would be appreaciated. Thanks, Selevercin If you have a problem with my spelling, just remember that's not my fault. I (as well as everyone else who learned to spell after 1976) blame it on Robert A. Kolpek for U.S. Patent 4,136,395.

If you mean integers, you can use the MS extensions __int64 and unsigned __int64 --Mike-- Latest blog entry: *drool* (Alyson) [May 10] Ericahist | Homepage | RightClick-Encrypt | 1ClickPicGrabber "You have Erica on the brain" - Jon Sagara to me

There are some arbitrary precision numeric libraries on the net. Check for instance GMP[^]. Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo

Hi, You can use Decimal data type and Decimal arithmetic functions: VarDecAdd, VarDecMul etc. They are declared in oleauto.h. Decimal variables are stored as 12-byte signed integers and can store values from 0.0000000000000000000000000001 to 79,228,162,514,264,337,593,543,950,335 Alexander

for floating point, look up long double in the doc. Range is +/–1.2E4932 with at least 19 digits of precision.

long double is there for backward compatibility only - it's now the same as double (15 digits of precision).
