Current I want to calculate the value of a=0.5**5000. I knowa is very small value, but I need use a to multiply b, where b = 5000!, a very large value.
But when I calculate value of a=0.5^5000, the result is 0. Does anyone have a good method to solve this problem? Thanks!
Try the decimal module:
>>> from decimal import Decimal
>>> print(Decimal("0.5") ** 5000)
7.079811261048172892385615159E-1506
