hi.
is it possible in c++ to do operations with very long numbers like 10^10000 without using arbitrary precision arithmetic? maby with some memory access?
python allows to do operations very very long numbers like like 10^10000 , using operators +,-,*,/ but in c++ the max number type is base64 and i must be not usuall operators

No you have to use 'arbitrary precision arithmetic'...The machine or CPU only understands a limited number of number formats,

the problem i that length of numbers is limited and i need to use very very big numbers, for excample 555!
in python its simple, i use math.factorial(555), but in c++ i cant work with numbers like this

On my compiler long long int go to 10,000,000.

10,000,000 it is not so big number as i need

Could you possibly use some sort of system to convert the numbers into standard index form? I don't know whether that'd be easier or harder though..

I'm interested in this subject as well but I'm yet to find an easy, flexible solution that I'd be satisfied with. I write in pure C, though.

What could be easier than including a library that some one else wrote and using its functionality?

I'm sorry, I missed out on the library whilst glancing at the thread, I'm looking into it right now.
