How is it possible to deal with incredibly long (large) numbers in vb.net?I am working on Problem 25 in Project Euler, and my program cannot handle these computations.Is there a data type that can handle thousands of digits?
View 3 RepliesIs there a correct way of doing this in vb.net? I want to read a file as a set of numbers such as long integers ,say the file contains the string "Hello World - Its a beautiful day blah blah blah" This would read as a set of long integers that are 4 bytes long
ie ascii (hex)
48 65 6C 6C 6F 20 57 6F
H e l l o W o
etc and that would also be an 4 byte word represented as a number 1819043144 thus stepping through the file 4 bytes at a time. Instead of reading and looking for certain words in the file I would look for certain numbers, thus eliminating read errors in certain file types. I coded this type of thing in vb6 before , this would be done with the 'get' method and a file pointer. I have managed to read it a byte at a time with this code but I am unsure where to go with it as the 'get' method isn't in vb.net

Any simple way to add commas to large numbers (example: instead of "123456789" as my text converted {and loaded into a text box} output of a calculation, I want to see "123,456,789")?

The loop will run about 3 times then overflow. I guess no matter what u do xor will result in Byte,Integer or Long. CDec(Key) will not work I need a way to bypass this so i can Xor large numbers.
How can I calculate 2^ 3333 in vb.net it calculates up to 2^ 60 it says infinite for this calculation. Is tehre any way to work with really large numbers?
View 1 Replieshow to get the mod of large numbers? for example: (3214282912345698765432161182 mod 97)
View 10 RepliesThis piece of C# code does not produce any overflow exception.wordsize is a constant equal to 32.the x and y can be very big at the computation time. So big that long or decimal even cant hold. But C# handles the problem even the value of the variables exceeds its limits.The computation gives thr right result.(I dont know how it does it)

I want a method of dealing with very, very, very big numbers (potentially a million digits). It is very cumbersome to deal with very big numbers in VB, would another language perhaps be better for that?
View 10 RepliesFor example, to calculate this:(22 ^ 29) Mod 57Supposedly there is a way to get around overflows and do these calculations, but I can't find much online. Now, the person who said this was doing VBA in Excel and said that there was about 4 lines of code which could handle the overflow so it wouldn't happen.
View 4 RepliesI wrote a program to download and play AVI files the files are large in size and long time wise. I have the files playing as they are being downloaded but i can't see how long the file is or seek reliably. i was reading that the AVI headers are in the last 512kb of the AVI file *why would't they put it at the start* lol so my question is is there a way to download the last 512Kb of the file i'm downloading. i have the Bytes Read and Length of the file while its downlaoding i'm just not sure where to go from there, or how to do it atleast. If i had the length in time of the Avi file i could set the trackbar to be able to seek properly. or if someone has an idea how i could get the time of the video by using fps and some math i could prob do it that way too but idk how i would tell how i can find how many kb are in the fps i'm sure it changes so think that way is't going to be reliable. how to get the last 512kb would be the best option not sure if it can be done even.

View 4 RepliesI am currently trying to create a program to list a large group of numbers for me. My final goal is to have every 2, 3, 4, ..., and 9 digit number containing only "1" "2" and "3". I thought I would go about this by using the following VB.NET program and then copying it into a text editor, and using find & replace to eliminate all other numbers.

it fails due to the massive amount of processing that needs to take place. However, adding the intervals requires a great deal of time for each number to be displayed without any crashes.
Is there some way (in VB.NEt or another language) to get the number list I want in a short (an hour or less) amount of time?
I need some guidance on a little program I'm making (one that I thought would take a couple of hours from start to finish, it's been days now ...) that determines all of the proper divisors of any given number up to the maximum value of a UInt32.

I'm currently attempting to make on ORPG using Visual Basic 2008. It's a big project, I know. I've currently made a working map editor and the basics of a game client(movement with physics, etc.). Unfortunately, when the form's size is larger(in the actual game client), the form becomes REALLY slow. The larger the form is, the slower it runs. The smaller it is, the faster it runs... And I also have horrible lag in my map editor. So horrible it's impossible to be productive. It has nothing to do with the form's size this time.

View 2 RepliesWith the shape of really large characters such as numbers and alphabetic characters + others, is there a way to get that shape as a REGION please?Imagine a really fat snake forming the letter S or two rectangles placed together to form a large letter L or a T like the shapes in TETRIS.
1) Does anyone know of anything in VB.Net that can translate such shapes into a System. Drawing.Region or know of a project elsewhere that achieves this please?
2) While I'm on the subject, how would you SCALE UP / DOWN a System.Drawing.Region please? How would you work out the Transform Matrix required please?
I want to write a program to do Markov chain, but my states are quite large. First of all I calculate all the transition probabilities and revenues for all states(1381860 total states), and store in a multidimensional array. Public RevArr(0 To 9, 0 To 750, 0 To 282) As Long
After that the iteration of markov chain should use these as inputs to calculate the steady-state probabilities. But when I try to run the main code I got this error.Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown.
The following is the declaration of second array I add just another dimension for storing all the iterations, but I get this error. Dim stateprob(IT + 1, 0 To 9, 0 To 750, 0 To 282) As single

Dim cursorIcon As Cursor
cursorIcon = Cursor
Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor
Then setting it to false at the end of the operation. It did not work, so I thought maybe it was because I was calling it from a child window, so I created a function in the mainwindow, and ran it like this:
FrmMain.BlockFrmMainInput()With these functions is the Main window:

It did not solve the problem. I thought maybe it was because I was running under the debugger, so I tried compiling and running it debugger-free, but that did not do any better. I am still getting input when I double-click the mouse on either form.
I am using VB 2005 and MS Access 2007.Some of business name has apostrophe(') and I need to know how SQL deal with this name.For example
sqlStr = "SELECT * FROM AddressTable WHERE BusinessName=" & "'" & updateBName & "'"
in this case, if updateBName is "Den's Nail", the real SQL is
"SELECT * FROM AddressChangeTable WHERE BusinessName='Den's Nail'"
and this code generates Error Message.Is there any way to prevent error ?Or do I have to remove all apostrophe(') in Business Name?

Firstly can anyone tell what is the character before yahoo. Is it a special character or some html character, and what is the character that I'm seeing in VS while debugging.So it goes like this, the ascii value of the character turns out to be 63.But when I write the value to a file it generates 3 characters whose ascii values are above 127.
