An 'int' can hold values -2^31 through to 2^31 - 1 [i.e. max 10 digits]. A
'long' can hold values -2^63 through to 2^63 - 1 [i.e. 19 max digits].

You make the choice :) !

I hope this helps.

Re: Numeric overflow

hi
Java has great support for this
i was writing an application that simulates RSA algorithm (of course
it was for educational purpose ;) not practical use ) .....
but i found a good support for real largeeeeeeeeeee eeeee integers
check out java.math.BigIn teger class
it should suffice your needs ...

cheers
