What Programming Language Can Handle 30-Digit Integers and Matrices for Free?

[approx]

I've been looking for a free download of a programming language that is easy to use and handles large numbers for a number theory problem I'm working on. I will report my results here after I use it. My TI isn't powerful enough and my other programmable calculator that I downloaded, graphcalc, doesn't do matrices. I'm guessing I need something that handles 30 digit integers, but the more the better. And of course it needs to handle matrices. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Try octave...

Pari is excellent, and much better than Octave for number theory.

You can handle 30 digit integers natively in 64-bit gcc. No other programming language will even come close in terms of speed.

Thanks for the input and the links. I'll try these out.

How? That would be useful. For example, that would let me compute multiplies mod a number <= 316227766016837 natively. (I'd otherwise be limited to 4294967296, which is less useful.)

You use the native type __int128_t.

Any language with "Big Integers" (arbitrary precision) integers should work (computational speed not being a factor). Java has a pretty basic implementation. Haskell has one as well, and is a bit faster and is often better for mathematical problems.

Nice, I'll have to play with that.
