  • \$\begingroup\$ @userunknown, the rules have been updated -- if Python limits string length, that isn't up to me. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jun 1, 2012 at 19:48
  • \$\begingroup\$ Haha! You don't blow the 64-bit limit, but Python does? Wait ... \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jun 1, 2012 at 19:51
  • \$\begingroup\$ lol, yup. This code will work for every possible input for which the input & output fit in memory. Being base 10, there's a fairly wide gulf between what you can do with your int accumulator and my carries-in-memory -- as I noted on ugoren's solution. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jun 1, 2012 at 19:59
  • \$\begingroup\$ @userunknown: Nope, you can't, but the limit is very high, about 10 **8 \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jul 30, 2016 at 6:11
