[issue37295] Possible optimizations for math.comb()

[Tim Peters]

Tim Peters <tim at python.org> added the comment:

Please don't use "long long". It usually introduces platform dependence where none is intended, or helpful. PEP 7 requires that the compiler in use supply the fixed-width integer types defined by C99's stdint.h[1]. These are:

int8_t
int16_t
int32_t
int64_t
uint8_t
uint16_t
uint32_t
uint64_t

This has been required since Python 3.6. There is no reason not to use them.
