title: How to store 14.5 trillion and some change in a C floating point type variable
body: <p>I'm creating a change counter program for my C++ class. The numbers we are using are in the 10s of trillions and I was wondering if there was an easy way to store that into a floating point type variable then cast that into an integer type. It isn't an integer literal, it's accepted as an input and I expect possible change.</p>
