Working with extremely large numbers in C

Hi All,

I am just curious, not programming anything of my own. I know there are libraries like gmp which does all such things. But I really need to know HOW they do all such things i.e. working with extremely large unimaginable numbers which are beyond the integer limit. They can do add, subtract etc.

I have thought of one way which is instead of int, store the numbers in the character array of any length and while computing, keep changing each and every char to int and hence perform an operation.

Are there any other better ways of handling large integers in C program?

NAME
MooseX::Declare::Syntax::MethodDeclaration - Handles method declarations DESCRIPTION
A role for keyword handlers that gives a framework to add or modify methods or things that look like methods. ATTRIBUTES
prototype_injections An optional structure describing additional things to be added to a methods signature. A popular example is found in the "around" method modifier handler: METHODS
parse Object->parse (Object $ctx); Reads a name and a prototype and builds the method meta object then registers it into the current class using MooseX::Method::Signatures and a "custom_method_application", that calls "register_method_declaration". CONSUMES
o MooseX::Declare::Syntax::KeywordHandling REQUIRED METHODS
register_method_declaration Object->register_method_declaration (Object $metaclass, Str $name, Object $method) This method will be called with the target metaclass and the final built method meta object and its name. The value it returns will be the value returned where the method was declared. SEE ALSO
