What does this mean?

inp refers to the sample input test case I have given at first.Its a string
containing two numbers,
The program has to handle large numbers till 10**18 and also has to execute
considerably fast (within 16 CPU time).

Using xrange() causes the OveflowError,Whereas using range() causes too
many items
Is writing my own generator only solution? Or is there another way in which
i can generate big numbers and in considerably fast manner?
