I'm writing a little cryptography program for my current problem in DSA (data structures and algorithms). I finished it and it works unless I put in really really big numbers. Which is what is normally put in for it to work well. Anyway, is there a built in class or something that will get bigger than an unsigned long, or will I have to write one myself? Someone recommended that I write a class to do this, so that's the direction I'm moving towards.

Thanks,

I would say that you probably have to write a class. Unsigned long is as large as i can think of for built-in datatypes.

[Miscue]

Create your own data type to handle very large numbers.

Bad thing is: Will be SLOW when doing calculations in comparison to built in data types.

Well, I just talked to a TA, and they said not to worry about it with real big numbers. So my problems are solved!! Now I have to do all the runtime stuff, and a bunch of proofs, which I'm horrible at.
