Anyone here solve Project Euler problems? I find them very fun. I recently implemented a BigInt class in C++ which can handle numbers of any size. Using it, I was able to calculate 100! ( factorial ) which has something like 150 digits. And another one made me look into Pascal triangle, which is a very interesting mathematic structure.

Anyone else has solve Project Euler problems?

It sounds interesting, and I've bookmarked it for later. I don't know how long it will be until I have time to learn programming, but I definitely want to do that at some point. I just have a lot to do to complete my current educational project over the next three years (math and finance).

How about numbers of 10^100 digits?

10^100?^100? A googleplex? I don't know of any ways to do that. Is it even possible? It's a whole lot of digits...

In theory, Lisp is supposed to be able to handle any number of digits.

I've done a few of them in PHP. I enjoyed finding the 10001st prime number in particular
