Hello everyone! I'm new in this forum but not at all with Basic4GL.
I am now solving some problems about ProjectEuler (maybe we could open a thread for this) and sometime I get in trouble with numbers that need to be over 2^32. This constrict me to use other means (such as excel or python).
Is there any way to cope this limitation?
Thank you !

Basic4GL will still store the number as a Float even if you declare it as a Single or a Double.  If you run the following routine & then examine the Virtual Machine you'll see that the numbers are all stored with the same accuracy.
dim a#, b as single, c as double
a# = M_PI : b = 3.14159265 : c = atn(1)*4
 I suggest you stick to Python or use C with the GMP library. |

LMAO don't worry, tom already knows, take a look in the Basic4GL Source & you'll see why.  |
