The cost of computing N-ary digit(s) of some f(n) may change in many times, depending on what special method is applied for the given f. Consider, for example, 8-ary digits for 2^n. They cost almost nothing. Probably, the initial question concerns mathematics rather than programming, or a programming tool choice. ------------------ Sergey Mechveliani [EMAIL PROTECTED]
