Although this type of code is extremely common in programming puzzles, I
seriously doubt that it's used much anywhere else.
But anyway --- use doubles instead of ints, and turn all the floating
point exceptions on. Will be much faster (on 32-bit compilers), and
overflow errors get caught as soon as they occur.
