Language for working on big numbers

Question

I am working on a task that consists different operations on very big numbers. Example : Multiplying two 50 digit numbers. That big-sized numbers cannot be handled using C.

Can someone suggest me some programming language that can handle operations on such types of big numbers without using any special type of libraries, so that I can learn that language to implement my algorithm.

You can do that with any language you want. You just need to find a library for arbitrary precision arithmetic for that language. Look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_arbitrary-precision_arithmetic_software — Tesseract, May 11 '15 at 15:04

Python3 can work on very large numbers (you can say it has almost no limit) and that's automatic.

You can try it yourself by entering very large numbers in python shell.

BigDecimal class from Java can work with large numbers as you need, without using any extra library.
