int changing on its own... Too Large?

[lumpybanana247]

in my script,
a person is to type in the number 9999999999
9999999999 is saved as file1 (works fine)
9999999999 is loaded as integer1
integer2 is set equal to integer1
integer2 is saved as file2

But,the thing is that file2 is "1410065407" when it should be "9999999999"

file1 is how i wanted it (9999999999)

is the number too big or somthing?
how would it fix it?

thanks for your help

On most systems an unsigned int can hold a number as large as 2^32-1.
9999999999 % 2^32 == 1410065407 so yes, your ten digit 9s number is
too large for an unsigned 32 bit integer. Try long long instead.

kind regards,

neat, thank you very much- that explains a lot.
is the only differnece that instead of declaring it
int integer1;
i use
long long int integer1;
because i tried it and it didnt work


thank you!

Did you do a sizeof(long long)?? You should get the size in bytes.

For 32-bit Windows a long long is 8 bytes, which should be large enough.

If I'm not mistaken you need to try:

long long integer1;

not long long int integer1;

This code:

long long int integer1;
 

is perfectly OK. C (and C++) both allow you to code:

long long int integer1;
short int var;
//or
long long integer1;
short var;

o, i get it.. THANKS
