I hope that the language's
int
s are at most 32 bits. For 8 bits it could even be written by hand & the source code for a 32 bit version would only take upavg_line_len * 4GiB
space for the source code of the function. But it might take a bit of time to compile a version that supports the full range of 64 or 128 bit ints.My mate, Paul, says all numbers after 700 repeat so we can stop there.
We just give them different names so you think they're going up.
all you have to to is throw an exception if the number is bigger than 100, who even needs numbers that big anyways?
