Programming
a simple fundamental

When you want to exceed the maximum value of the largest data type that a language has, you have a clear path to follow: invent your own data type. You will need to write routines to convert long double to and from your private data type. You will need to write your own routines to add to elements of your private data type. And you will need to write your own routines to display the values of your private data type.
The bad news: none of this is easy and it probably cannot be written portably. The good news: your private data type can take many forms, so there are indeed a lot of solutions.
