Long Integer

Hi All,
I have the following code,

$min=12345678901234567890;
$max=12345678901234567899;
print "max=$max, min=$min \n";
if ($min < $max)
{
    print "Output : ok \n";
}
else
{
    print "Output : not ok \n";
}
 

Output:
max=1.23456789012346e+19, min=1.23456789012346e+19
Output : not ok

Why The output is in floating point. How can I solve this Issue.

What are you expecting the results to be?

Hi,

when I try to compare the values I am getting the wrong results. The difference between $max and $min is "0"

You are only comparing to see if it is less than, do a check to see if is is equal, less than or greater than.

my $min = 12345678901234567890;
my $max = 12345678901234567899;
 
   print "max=$max, min=$min \n";
       if ($min == $max) {
        print "Output : Equal \n";
    } elsif ($min < $max) {
        print "Output : Less Than \n";
    } elsif ($min > $max) {
        print "Output: Greater Than\n";
    } else {
        print "Output not equal, not less than not greater than\n";
    }
