what programming languages natively support 128 bit integers

2022-12-16

ChatGPT answer:

There are several programming languages that natively support 128-bit integers. Here is a list of some of them:

  • C and C++: C and C++ support 128-bit integers through the __int128 data type, which is defined in the <stdint.h> header file.
  • Java: Java supports 128-bit integers through the java.math.BigInteger class, which can represent integers of any size.
  • Python: Python supports 128-bit integers through the int data type, which can represent integers of any size.
  • Go: Go supports 128-bit integers through the int128 data type, which is defined in the math/big package.
  • Rust: Rust supports 128-bit integers through the i128 and u128 data types.
  • Swift: Swift supports 128-bit integers through the Int128 and UInt128 data types, which are available in the Swift Standard Library.
  • C#: C# supports 128-bit integers through the System.Numerics.BigInteger struct, which can represent integers of any size.
  • Haskell: Haskell supports 128-bit integers through the Integer data type, which can represent integers of any size.
  • OCaml: OCaml supports 128-bit integers through the Int128 and Uint128 data types, which are available in the Int128 module.
  • F#: F# supports 128-bit integers through the System.Numerics.BigInteger type, which can represent integers of any size.

Note that some of these languages also support other types of fixed-width integers, such as 64-bit or 32-bit integers.

Second ChatGPT answer:

As far as I know, there are several programming languages that natively support 128-bit integers:

  • C and C++: Both languages have a native 128-bit integer type called __int128. This type is supported by the GCC compiler and some other compilers as well.
  • Java: In Java, you can use the BigInteger class to represent arbitrarily large integers. This class has a method called shiftLeft that allows you to perform left shift operations on 128-bit integers.
  • Python: Python supports arbitrarily large integers and does not have a fixed limit on the number of bits that an integer can have. You can use the int type to represent 128-bit integers.
  • Go: Go has a native 128-bit integer type called int128. This type is supported by the Go compiler and is available in versions 1.13 and above.
  • Rust: Rust has a native 128-bit integer type called i128. This type is supported by the Rust compiler and is available in versions 1.26 and above.
  • C#: C# has a native 128-bit integer type called System.Numerics.BigInteger. This type is available in the System.Numerics namespace and can be used to represent arbitrarily large integers.
  • Swift: Swift has a native 128-bit integer type called Int128. This type is supported by the Swift compiler and is available in versions 5.3 and above.
