12^9

[13lade619]

12^9 = 5 159 780 352

is it possible to store this in a single variable in C?
(without having to code ANOTHER program to calculate it...)

long long int

long long int

Wouldn't regular long int store it properly? See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_integer#Common_sizes

I can't wait for long long ints to come out just so I can declare em though

 

[Slapshot136]

you should test to see if it works in a long, since it might, but otherwise use a double if you don't want to code anything else to interpret it

I thought it would work in a normal long.

A long is not guaranteed to be long enough to fit 12^9. A long long is always long enough (using gcc).
