Jun 1, 2012 at 19:59 comment added boothby 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.
Jun 1, 2012 at 19:51 comment added user unknown Haha! You don't blow the 64-bit limit, but Python does? Wait ...
Jun 1, 2012 at 19:48 comment added boothby @userunknown, the rules have been updated -- if Python limits string length, that isn't up to me.
Jun 1, 2012 at 19:02 comment added user unknown You can store Strings of arbitrary size in Python?
