If someone is interested, this is how I managed to solve my problem.
I converted this;
Print (y * (1 + y)) / 2
To this (here y is string, not long);
Shell "echo \"(" & y & "*(1+" & y & "))/2\" |bc" To sResult
This is not very quick method, but in my case it is fast enough.

Yes, of course.

Hi!
I'm using Gambas 3 rev 2822 @ Ubuntu 9.10 64bit.
To IDE console;
?3413156131^2
1.164963477458E+19
Right.
?3413156131*3413156131
-6797109299126662455

Or in code;

Result;
-3398554647856753152
Wrong.
Also, is there possibility to d
