:Ah well. It seems to me that the point of the task is to demonstrate the ''in-built'' facilities for arbitrary-precision integers, with however allowance for the existence of some library extension so routinely available at every installation that everyone would already be using it for such tasks. If the required number size had not been so large, the IBM1620 would have managed, but perhaps modernists with ibmpc-monocuture aren't interested. Evidently, any language can be extended to present such facilities, but the specification explicitly rejects developing such a library. If in Fortran's case there are three such libraries, and (as it appears from the above) different verbiage is required to employ each for the same calculation, we would find ourselves comparing such libraries rather than the in-built features of different languages.
