Thread Subject: big numbers

Hello all,

Can anybody tell me if I can have big numbers in MATLab like 2^(2^15) ?
If yes, is it possible to get a particular bit like 1234th bit of that number?

Please help me in this issue.

Thank you in advance.

Regards
Galib

Hi Galib,

maybe the symbolic math toolbox can help you..

N = 2^vpi(2^15)
N =
   1415461031044954789001553027744951601348130 ...
...
...
...
9958077541122668104633712377856

Roughly 10000 digits of this mess. I might extract
the 10000th binary digit as:

m = vpi(2)^9999;
rem(N/m,2)
ans =
   0

Find my vpi toolbox on the file exchange:

Dear John,
Thank you for your msg. I tried to write n = vpi(2^15) to see, but MATLab is giving me error msg like this:

??? Error using ==> class
The CLASS function must be called from a class constructor.

Error in ==> vpi at 181
INT = class(INT,'vpi');
 
So, please, let me know how to solve this.
Thanks for your help.

You did not install it as you are supposed to do.
I do not know what you did, but I know that you
did something wrong.

Download the vpi toolbox.

Unzip it.

Put (ONLY) the top directory on your search path.
Do not put the @vpi directory on your search path.
Do not move any of the files in these directories from
their location when they were unzipped.

These are the rules whenever you download ANY
toolbox that defines a new class in MATLAB.

vpi(2)^2313
ans =
