## Description
|
|
<section id='description'>
|
|
Comparing two numbers written in index form like 211 and 37 is not difficult, as any calculator would confirm that 211 = 2048 < 37 = 2187.
|
|
However, confirming that 632382518061 > 519432525806 would be much more difficult, as both numbers contain over three million digits.
|
|
Using base_exp.txt (right click and 'Save Link/Target As...'), a 22K text file containing one thousand lines with a base/exponent pair on each line, determine which line number has the greatest numerical value.
|
|
NOTE: The first two lines in the file represent the numbers in the example given above.
