Hello all :)
    I have a doubt in c's (pow) function...
I tried to run this code..which resulted in an output: 

2375726401805877617098752 

#include<math.h>
main()
{
printf("%.0lf\n",pow(75,13));
}    

but, what I found in the calculator was

2375726401805877685546875

a difference of...

68448123

what I want to know is.......what is the limit of a double variable and what is a solution to get an answer what I got in CALCULATOR...
thanx in advance..
happy day
friendly
sneha :o)
