== 64-bit integer arithmetic ==
Hopefully Mister Babbage you guessed wrong! The solution of your problem is 25264 and not 99736. Hopefully because half of the languages examples would have been wrong. Because the square of 25264 (638,269,696) needs only the 32-bit integer type but the square of 99736 (9,947,269,696) needs the 64-bit integer type! And a lot of languages have problems with it. --[[User: PatGarrett|PatGarrett]] ([[User talk: PatGarrett|talk]]) 19:47, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
