C.B.U.D.T. or a possible large data-type

I'm not sure which project will I need to do in order to get the value I want for calculating sine value in Taylor Series, but the issue is that I need a very big data-type that as well have 100+ decimal points. Or should I do a very complex collections base uniformed data-type that can be turned into a single value with nearly infinite decimal points.

So the question is: Is there a way to get 100+ decimal points without having to create a collection base uniformed data-type or C.B.U.D.T.?

If no other ways then I will have to do this way which could be more than a month process.

Please and thank you for your time.

As far as I know there's no other way (in the common languages (java and c/c++, c#, etc..).

I'm weak in the mathematics area, only learning the bare minimum required to do what I need to.

But, if you need unlimited precision, you can look into some sort of library to handle that sort of thing.

Eh?

Perhaps it's what you're looking for.
