Arithmetics for large integers

• Horst Jäger Arithmetics for large integers Nov 07 2008, 16:32
  Hi,
  I'm looking for a possibility to use arithmetics for arbitrarily large
  integers in objective c. Is there a special class or an framework that
  does the job?
  
  Thanks in advance
  
  Horst

  Maybe vBigNum....

  I use the GNU MP package (http://gmplib.org/) I had to tweak XCode 3 to
  get it to build 64-bit clean for the intel arch. It is used in a PI
  calculator I wrote and it is *brutally* fast and efficient. While it is
  all a raw C dylib, One could easily write a framework around it.
