Hello,

I'm having a pretty weird problem with a program i created,
it's going to be a RSA encrypter...

I've made a BigNum class that is able to do multiplications, additions, decreament, divisions and modulo on very large numbers...

The size of these numbers is defined by a contant (named range),
everything works fine if the range <= 5104 bytes, but for some sort of reason when i go above this number it won't work correctly anymore, i have a system("PAUSE"); at the end of my code, but it will just go past it and past some other calculations in my function main()... Lets say range=6104, than it will only show input, not output of other calculations, but if i delete the multiplication and division from the main() it will show the output of the modulo correctly!

I guess it has to do with memory/buffer overflow of some kind, but if it where a normal overflow of some sort it should also give errors using a number other than 512 ('cause at first i didn't use a constant for the size of the numbers, but just 512)...

I haven't got a clue what is wrong...
Help is very much appreciated!

Here is the code (sorry it's a bit long):
BTW: I'm using Borland C++ 5.0, but should compile using other compilers

#include <stdlib>
#include <stdio>
#include <memory>

This may not be of help if this is homework...

http://www.swox.com/gmp/

why bother trying to reinvent the wheel?

It's sort of homework...
So that's no help for me, but thanks anyway...

BTW: reinventing the wheel rocks :p
