Hi, I read/learnt that, Python handles very large numbers easily and gracefully using the long int. For example when C does not handle (2 power 1500) and when Java does not handle (2 power 1500) in normal scenario(other than BigNum) due to datatype size overflows how python is able to do that with infinite length number and infinite precision.
I am looking for the algorithm or to learn how Python handles/works with large numbers. I searched in internet but did not get proper expected result/theory behind it. Could someone point me to the correct link where I can learn how python handles large numbers. when I did 2**1500 (2 power 1500) in python it resulted nicely in 350746621104340387476275879602808579935240158803308288240757980247909 638505633222036570808865849692616531504067954375173992945489414699597 541710389180047008478899564853290972644868027115834629465366821843401 386294513554582649463425253836193893149606446650525517514423355092491 733611303557961097098855806743139542102176578474326267607330047532753 171921336747035633727832970419932270526633336685099520001750533555290 58880434182538386715523683713208549376L Thanks & Regards, carti _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
