String Manipulation

Posted 29 August 2010 - 02:25 PM

I wanted to play around with using string manipulation to divide very large numbers.

I will have a very simple input of the dividend and divisor and my program will print out the quotient and remainder. I will also be giving inputs with leading zeros but I will not include them in my output.

How would I accomplish this using string manipulation?

Thanks for your help.

Maybe take a look at a library that already exists for doing that,

Do you mean:
if
char s1="123456789"
char s2="965412378"
find the approximate value of 965412378/123456789 = 7.82
