==============================

.. py:module:: project_euler.problem_099.sol1

.. autoapi-nested-parse::

   Problem:

   Comparing two numbers written in index form like 2'11 and 3'7 is not difficult, as any
   calculator would confirm that 2^11 = 2048 < 3^7 = 2187.

   However, confirming that 632382^518061 > 519432^525806 would be much more difficult, as
   both numbers contain over three million digits.

   Using base_exp.txt, 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.
