INTEGER_MAX_VALUE

How much is that?

It depends on your definition of Integer...

For a 16 bit twos-complement signed value, 32,767.
For a 16 bit unsigned value, 65,535.
For a 32 bit twos-complement signed value, 2,147,483,647.
For a 32 bit unsigned value, 4,294,967,295.

And so on...

Hm, that statement doesn't really work does it...

Evening all

Hi Stu

Have you tried

Integer.MAX_VALUE = (Integer)Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY

?

4,294,967,295

Pull your fingers out chaps and you can get this by the weekend.

[NickFitz]

System / implementation dependent... 0xFFFFFFFF or 4,294,967,295 odd if it's an unsigned long...

exactly

Lol, I have no idea about coding, I did about 6 months very bad Lotus Notes development several years ago and that's the sum total of my development experience.

I was just thinking that a max value can't be infinity, because there's no maximum to infinity.

But then I thought that an integer could theoretically be infinite, and therefore a maximum value of infinity would be valid.

And then my brain exploded.

Start here.

You'll soon get the hang of it.

Start here.

Looks horifically complicated. Think I'll stick to testing and sending horribly vague, un-reproducable defects to developers instead

[NickFitz]

Start here.

"-x returns x with the sign reversed. This is different from 0-x in some cases, notably when x is 0. So -(0) is -0, but the sign of 0-0 depends on the rounding mode."

Classic!

The old ones are always the best...
