I realize that thie ansewer to this question is probibly a very simple one, however I will ask
it any way, in hopes that someone could help me out.

I want to store the following number (25834242042) as an int, I declare it as usual:

int var = 258342042;

yet the number is obviouslu too large to store as an integer (even an unsigned one).
Subsequently I try to store it as both 'float' and 'double' - yet they wont even hold a number of 
this size!

What can I do to get a larger varable declaration???

Please help.
