Ok, I am trying to multiply one number by another an the answer is
like 700,000,000 off.
so I have
long number1 = 2295104;
long number2 = 2048;
long number 3 = number1 * number2;
NSLog gives me: 405405696
well that is totaly wrong. In the calculator the correct answer is:
4700372992
Why is the math in my program incorrect?
