Hi,
  I don't understand why R computes this wrong. I know I can use gmp and
R will do it correctly.

$ echo '569936821221962380720^3 + (-569936821113563493509)^3 +
(-472715493453327032)^3' | Rscript - [1] -4.373553e+46
Correct answer is 3 and Python can do it:

$ echo
'pow(569936821221962380720,3)+pow(-569936821113563493509,3)+pow(-472715493453327032,3)'|python3
3
