Hi,
What is the best way to enter very large integers ( more than a thousand integers) on sage online? I tried to split the number into multiple lines using continuation symbols like \ and ... but nothing works. The horizontal scroll bar is not showing up when i enter the number on a single line. Thanks for your help.
Hello,
I would create a file that contains a number and then read it from Sage. To open a file this is a standard python command (see Input and Output from python.org):
sage: f = open("my_file_that_contains_a_big_number.txt")
sage: text = f.read()
sage: f.close()
sage: my_big_number = ZZ(text)
If it is multiple lines you can remove the breaks with
sage: f = open("my_file_that_contains_a_big_number.txt")
sage: text = f.read()
sage: f.close()
sage: text = text.replace("\n", "")
sage: text = text.replace("\r", "")
sage: text = text.replace(" ", "")
sage: my_big_number = ZZ(text)

What do you mean by "sage online" ? Is that the cloud, the Sage notebook or something else ?
