How can a novice simply generate a large number > 1010 in a few steps?
Dodo said:By writing down a '1', followed by nine '0's, followed by a '1' ?
Not sure of what you really want, though.

Loren Booda said:I recall one of the best such algorithms was created by a Turing-like machine. Within three steps it easily reached over 10100.
Some easy algorithms to produce big numbers include the factorial function, the Fibonacci sequence, and exponentiation. These algorithms can quickly generate large numbers by either multiplying numbers together or adding them repeatedly.
Algorithms produce big numbers by using mathematical operations, such as multiplication, addition, or exponentiation, to generate a sequence of numbers that increase in size. As the algorithm continues, the numbers become larger and larger.
No, easy algorithms cannot produce infinite numbers. While these algorithms can generate very large numbers, they are limited by the capabilities of the computer or programming language they are being used with. Eventually, the algorithm will reach the maximum number size and cannot continue.
Easy algorithms can be used in various real-life applications, such as cryptography, data encryption, and data compression. They can also be used in computer graphics, simulations, and scientific calculations that require large numbers.
One drawback of using easy algorithms to produce big numbers is that they can be resource-intensive and may slow down a computer if not properly optimized. Additionally, these algorithms may not be suitable for producing truly random numbers, which can be important in certain applications.
