RE: Big Integer Atoms
Hi Igor and Ricardo,
Yes, i too have found 2^53 as the final whole number representable
as an atom in Euphoria.
I've also submitted a program to the archives to test for this
number anyway, and it finds it in 84 iterations or less
(less if you start with a smaller number) so it's done in
under a second.
It's a semi linear technique, and i suspect that a log search
using hex would be even faster, but what the heck, you only have
to run it once 
Igor:
Your prng is very nice, and flat too
Take care,
Al
And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!
