data type help

Hi,

first of all I don't know wich code you are using. If you are using for example a counter as double and you don't need decimal places, you can best use long.

If you post a sample code with a little explanation what you are doing, it would be easier to help.

well.. the code is actually pretty long.. to make it short.. its actually a computation of the bairstow method. its an iteration in numerical methods.
the values could go up very very big or very very small..

i definitely need a double data type. but that is the main problem, double aint enough. i always get the overflow error.

is there any way i could get a data type that can support numbers larger than double? or..
double is 8 bits right? can i increase that memory? and if i do, will that increase the data capacity?

sorry if cant fill the code.. its kinda long (very long)

thanx :) :)

wel.. yea.. the error was my numbers was exceeding double.. anyway, i guess il just have to handle the error and stick with double.. thnx guys
