Does anyone have a type or a set of functions for large integer arithmetic like bignum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bignum) or something alike? Couldn't find any from the code archives.

There's a module which can handle numbers with up to 2,147,483,647 digits : http://code.google.com/p/maxmods/wiki/MapmModule
That qualifies for a reasonably large integer.

Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for.
Does that mod use a whole byte just to store one digit?
I believe so, yes. It was the best non-GPL'd library I could find.
You are always free to write your own, of course :-)

Dude, that's 2 *BILLION* digits! I can imagine that my virtual memory page swapping would go into overdrive handling that number! ;)
Thanks for wrapping the code, though, Brucey! (BRL should have you on their payroll, if you ask me...)

It's only about 2GB :)
