How to increase the size of the int

Question

I'm looking for a way so that I can get big numbers.

I want to calculate 38^n for n>4000

So is there any way to do this?

Kindly help me.

`int` is exactly the size the compiler defines it to be. What you are looking for is not a bigger `int`, but either a larger integer *type* (`long` / `long long`) or a bignum C++ library, like libgmp. — DevSolar, Mar 21 '14 at 10:37

Look for a BigInt library like this one if the unsigned long long (64-bit integer) does not fit your needs.

You definitely need some kind of big int library. You can find one quite easily on Google or even (if you plan only specific operations), write one on your own. For instance, the above result comes from my own calculator, which supports big integer evaluations.
