Question
QUESTION:   Hi,
How are you?
I have a C question. I declare an array
int myarray[300];
I want to store large values in my array (1,500,000) but this array cannot hold the values. How do you declare array for long integers? I'm usind Turbo C, so I can't do some of the fancy stuff. Turbo C is an old compiler.
Thanks a lot.
Tom

ANSWER: Hi Tom

I am fine, How are you ?
when you want to use large numbers don't go for integer array try with long int.

You can create an array of long int like this
long int x[300];

Long int can store more than 999999999 I have used this once in my program you can have a look at it also in this link:

And this is a Turbo C compatible program to convert a number from digit to word.

I hope that this would clear your doubt, but still in case if you find it difficult to do it please feel free to revert back to me.

QUESTION:  Hi,

Thanks a lot for your answer.
Unfortunately declaring my array long int myarray[300]; still won't allow me to store anything bigger than about 30000 in this array. There is something I'm missing. Maybe I don't include a certain *.h file? What *.h file do I need to include for the Turbo C to allow larger intries in my array? Do you have any other ideas as to what I could try.
 Most thanfully,

Hi Tom

There is no special header file needed I think there is some problem with your TC you can download TC from rapidshare I have uploaded it for you

Here is the link
