I\'d like to implement a big int class in C++ as a programming exercise—a class that can handle numbers bigger than a long int. I know that there are several open sou
Could try implementing something like this:

You'd only need 4 bits for a single digit 0 - 9
So an Int Value would allow up to 8 digits each. I decided i'd stick with an array of chars so i use double the memory but for me it's only being used 1 time.
Also when storing all the digits in a single int it over-complicates it and if anything it may even slow it down.
I don't have any speed tests but looking at the java version of BigInteger it seems like it's doing an awful lot of work.
For me I do the below
//Number = 100,000.00, Number Digits = 32, Decimal Digits = 2.
BigDecimal *decimal = new BigDecimal("100000.00", 32, 2);
decimal += "1000.99";
cout << decimal->GetValue(0x1 | 0x2) << endl; //Format and show decimals.
//Prints: 101,000.99
