Hi Guys - I’m really new to Julia. Sorry if the question is dumb.

I’m trying to plot Fibonacci series. So I discovered that the Plots are broken for values bigger than 10^308:

Try this:  
`plot([0,1], [(big(10)^308),0])`

and that:  
`plot([0,1], [(big(10)^308)*2,0])`

The second one shows an empty plot 🙁

`Plots` uses `Float64` for it’s coordinates.

You can use a log scale.

This does not seem to solve the problem, because big numbers are not supported in Plots

You can do

```julia
plot([0,1], [log((big(10)^308)*2),0])

```
