Question

I am accepting an input from user as a float value.

This value can go up to “10 raised to power 18”.

The next step involves finding all the divisors of this number. for which i am doing the following:

      for(i=2; i<=n/2 ; i++)
      {
        if(n%i==0) 
           v.push_back(i);
      }

Here, n is the number entered by the user.

Problem is that n is float and using it in if loop index causes it’s value to be limited to ’10 raised to the power 9′

Hence, is there any way to use data type other than int for using values of range ’10 raised to power 18′?

Answer 1

You can use an unsigned long long which is 2⁶⁴ or roughly 10¹⁹

This assumes that your compiler supports 64-bit integers.
