[REBOL] Re: integer! which range?

From: sterling:rebol at: 13-Nov-2001 12:24

The trick here is that these are differnt REBOL datatypes.
>> type? 1
== integer!
>> type? 99999999999999
== decimal!

As far as largest integer goes:
>> 2147483647
== 2147483647
>> 2147483647 + 1
** Math Error: Math or number overflow
** Near: 2147483647 + 1

There it is.
But:
>> 2147483647.0 + 1
== 2147483648

but this is decimal! type, not an integer!.
