Help needed! MQL5 ulong type cannot handle the very large integers

[sonicdan]

I'm trying to use MQL5 for some stats & probability calculations but I run into a seemed very basic problem but I cannot find any answers after searches online. When a very large integer number such as 2^100 exceeds the maximum capacity of the long type or even the ulong type the variables could not store the number correctly. What should I do to resolve this issue? Please help!

Depending on your required precision.

ulong is 64 bit, the max value is (2 pow 64) - 1

Either you build code to handle two ulong as one, meaning you need to have an upper and lower value, or you opt for float.

Depending on what you need.
