Overload Operator to make unlimited size integer

[cxcodexc]

I am trying to overload the +, *, and - operators using variables of
type int but allowing them to hold unlimited size. Can anyone help me
do this?

thanks

I don't understand. Say you have a 32-bit int. There are 2^32 different bit
patterns that it can be, so there are 2^32 different values that it can
have. You can map those patterns to any values you like, but you can't have
any more of them.

So say i have two integer variables both holding 200,000 if i
mulptiply these and store the new value in another integer variable it
will not hold the result. As the result is too big. I want to extend
this integer variable type to hold any size. I heard i had to use and
array of integers and a pointer or something along those lines

Any ideas??

Do you know how to use a search engine? Try www.google.com and
search for "arbitrary size integer implementation" (without the
quotes, of course).

There are at least 3 C++ libraries I know of that will do what you want.
The most "advanced" I think is GMP. Did you try it out ?
