I am new in java.
Please Help me.

Java has a BigInteger class, but you can't use it on the judge..

The java.math.BigInteger not is supported in the Vallladolid Judge, but you can use the implementacion of BigInt in this link

Good Luck !

You can always download the source code to Sun's implementation of the BigInt..

Hi Larry.
How about in regional contests ? Are BigInteger supported ?
Sun's BigInt implementation is quite heavy, isn't it ? (I believe it's around 100 Ko, and it seems faster to recode our own BigInt than simplifying this one, isn't it ?)

[Larry]

No, it's only this judge's limitations. In regionals, you're allowed to use all this and more. (As far as I know anyhow..)

Gee ! I'm surprised ! BigInteteger is extremely powerful : it now includes primality testing (with serveral different methods), primal number generation, fast exponentiation, modular arithmetics, modular exponentiation, and much much more !
It's now almost simpler to convert a standard int into BigInteger and let BigInteger's methods do the job (for part of number theory problems) than create everything anew.
Couldn't it kill the algorithmic interest of some problems ?
