Implement multiple precision support for numbers #44

Open mertyildiran opened 4 years ago

mertyildiran commented 4 years ago

Implement arbitrary length integer and arbitrary precision floating-point numbers support using GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library. Here is a tutorial.

Beware there is a significant difference between multiple precision and arbitrary precision. I'd guess GMP lib is not what you're looking for and you're probably wanting something like mpdecimal.
