Long multiplication: Difference between revisions

Line 1,930:
Since Dc has arbitrary precision built-in, the task is no different than a normal multiplication:
<lang Dc>2 64^ 2 64^ *p</lang>

You would simulate having only fixed size integers just for implementing a multiplication simulating a bigger size?
Simulate overflow errors with Dc's arithmetic just for the sake of circumcoding it in the next layer?
For languages having fixed size integers and bignum support this task may make sense but not for Dc.
This example should be replaced by exactly this explanation.}}
