I have being doing some problems on the Project Euler website and have come across a problem. The Question asks,"Work out the first ten digits of the sum of the following one-hundred 50-digit numbers." I am guessing there is some mathematical way to solve this but I was just wondering how numbers this big are summed? I store the number as a string and convert each digit to a long but the number is so large that the sum does not work.
Is there a way to hold very large numbers as a variable (that is not a string)? I do not want the code to the problem as I want to solve that for myself.
Thanks.
