Le 10 mai 2010 à 12:46, Mark J. Reed a écrit : Similar result under 10.6.3, but the result of truncating the number is different. Where you just got the maximum integer value (2^31-1), I got the original number modulo 2^31:
(*9.998765432E+9*) (*1.40883084E+9*)
(1,408,830,840 is the remainder when 9,998,765,432 is divided by 2,147,483,648).
It does seem like there should be some sort of warning at least...
In fact, the original code was :
set c to "9998765432" set i to c as integer
With c grabbed from a csv file.
I got an error message. It's when I saw this one which I introduced the set r to c as real instruction and edited the original one as set i to r as integer to check if an error was issued.
I was really surprised to get no alert. This feature bored me more than the value returned because this one make sense.
