Question

Hi, I need some help with this question(Data Structure Course)

I am a bit confused on how to solve this.
Thanks!

Mos teger dato t programming languages have a built-in in type. Normally, this representation has a fixed size, thus placing a limit on how large a value can be stored in an integer variable. Describe a representation for integers that has no size restriction (other than the limits of the computer's available main memory), and thus no practical limit on how large an integer can be stored. Briefly show how your representation can be used to implement the operations of addition, multiplication, and exponentiation

Explanation / Answer

We can use following approach to hold integers of any size.
We will represent integers as array of characters or strings.So every digit will be the member of this character array.Addition and subtraction can be performed accordingly.Once we have got these strings we can dynamically allocate array of integers to hold the individual elements of this string integers. Once we have all the digits stored in integer arrays we can perform the trivial operations of addition, multiplication and subtraction.
