big numbers in C++

[Elliot Chance]

Hi,

I want to store very big numbers (eg. 2^1024)

Does any know how to store numbers like this, so they can then be
manipulated, (+-*/)

Thanks, Elliot

By far the simplest way is to use the work that someone else has already
done. There are several free libraries that handle this sort of thing, for
instance
