Title
Body
We are supposed to calculate e^x using this kind of formula: e^x = 1 + (x ^ 1 / 1!) + (x ^ 2 / 2!) ...... I have this code so far: while (result >= 1.0E-20 ) { power = power * input; factorial = factorial * counter; result = power / factorial; eValue += result; counter++; iterations++; } My problem now is that since factorial is of type long long, I can't really store a number greater than 20! so what happens is that the program outputs funny numbers when it reaches that point .. The correct solution can have an X value of at most 709 so e^709 should output: 8.21840746155e+307 The program is written in C++.
