Hello Everyone,
I want to know which data type needs to be used to store a value of order 10^26?

Another problem is that, I need to enter variable no of inputs in single line. How will this be done?

eg:
1
1 2
2 6 5
2 4

where the above sequence is to be input for same variables.

Here's a table http://www.mmg.tu-sofia.bg/tysc/ch03/ch03.htm#Heading4. There's probably a better one on the net. Consider if you need exact precision for a num that size.
Numerical limits are described in the limits.h and float.h header files.

Actually, this looks like a good page: http://ftp.cwi.nl/steven/enquire/enquire.html
