Really embarrassing in two ways: - Could not remove my previous post. :-) - I should have tried to create such a big number (at least after reading all the answers here) before posting... It is possible to crate a 50000 digit big integer.
PS: Watch out though. The aim of the problem is to add up those 50- digit numbers and not to create one 50000-digit number. --feka On Mar 26, 12:40 am, Glen Rubin <rubing...@gmail.com> wrote: > I am trying to convert a long string of numbers to a number, but get a > java.lang.numberformatexception > > My long string of numbers has new line characters in it, so I am > filtering out the newline characters before converting it back to a > string.
