Find the thirteen adjacent digits in the 1000-digit number that have the greatest product. What is the value of this product?

What i did works and i get their answer for 4 digits, but with 13 digits it does not, and i do not understand how that can be.

is there a flaw i do not see atm?

So it is yet another Project Euler?
Why is it so popular?
Looks like you've exceeded the capacity of a 32-bit signed integer.
thanks, didn't occur to me.... now it's solved
