Big Numbers?

class Program
    def main
        print 2**30
        print 2**31
        print 2**32

returns

Code: Select all

-2147483648

The first is correct, the second is the negative of the proper answer answer, and the third is totally wrong.

I know (think) this has to do with int32 limits. Which leads me to my question: is there a built in class(s) in Cobra for operating with large numbers (over uint64's limit)?

In another thread in this forum, someone suggested a C# library (BIGINT, I think), however it looks messy (things like needing extra parenthesis) and I'd rather use something native to Cobra.

We do not have a "BigDecimal" or "BigInteger" type at this time. Can you tell me what applications you had in mind that will exceed, say int64?

I've been messing around with some physics stuff in Cobra, and you can get pretty numbers pretty quickly. Also, ProjectEuler
