Fortran: handling integer values of size: ~700000000000

Question

Currently I\'m brushing up on my Fortran95 knowledge (don\'t ask why)...

I\'m running in to a problem though. How does one handle large integers, eg. the size of: ~7

Answer 1

If you are using it as a loop control variable, but aren't using the integer directly (which I guess you can't be, as you can't declare an array larger than the largest index representable, right?), then I guess the thing to do is divide that puppy by something like 100000 and nest its loop in another loop that iterates that many times.
