splitting a long token across lines

[Elaine Jackson]

why can't you just write it like this:

MODULUS = A*pow(10,a) + \
                        B*pow(10,b) + \
                        C

| Hi all,
|
| Say, I have a very long integer constant , how can
| I split across lines ?
| I tried something like
| MODULUS = 7567567567567567567567567567567\
|           7567507546546986094860986094860\
|           2345646986598695869548498698989\
|           ...
| but it doesn't compile.
| Is there another way to write a long numeric constant besides writing
| it as a string and then converting to long? I also wouldn't like to put
| it all on one very long line.

| Thanks!
