Hi

Does anyone know how to get around the 20 significant digis in a while loop

all i get is the following error from a script when it comes to processing the large figure

Code:
./pali.sh: line 43: [: 13305261530450734933: integer expression expected
./pali.sh: line 55: [: -eq: unary operator expected
7197630720180367016 is not a palindrome 196
./pali.sh: line 19: [: 13305261530450734933: integer expression expected

up to this point it processes with out an issue.
(standard_in) 2: parse error
./pali.sh: line 43: [: -gt: unary operator expected
13305261530450734933 is a palindrome of 196 with a sum of

Can you please post your code? It's hard to debug code without seeing it.
