pete-9.c is the last of nine entries an anonymous "Pete" submitted to Bignum Bakeoff. It only slightly differs from its predecessor pete-8.c which was a failed attempt at improving upon Pete's largest entry, pete-7.c. Both pete-9.c and pete-8.c produce a much smaller number than pete-7.c because the f(n) function Pete defines in these programs has a bug which causes it to merely square a previously defined number. The only difference between the output of pete-9.c and pete-8.c is that pete-9.c uses 99 at one point instead of 999.
