Keep in mind that the extended type has limited precision. It can contain large values, but does so by only "remembering" the upper +/- 18 digits, sign and exponent.
OK, i will work on that
If it is a content, I think they want you to calculate a number larger than the size of normal types is to force you to deal with it, and define your own arithmetic for very large numbers.
it's not a content....its just a list of programming problems to be solved with a ranking system....sometimes they organize some sort of contest but the main thing is just a list of classical and challenge problems waiting to be solved....they count the amount of memory and execution time of the algorithm and sort the solutions with these criteria awarding more points to the best solutions...just for fun...nothing serious...
