HI OiOI

Is there a Coin Limit?? due to Integer OverFlow?

IN Java and many other programming languages the largest integer is a little over 2 billion. IN Java, integers are stored as the primitive type int.

After 2Billion and a bit, if you add even one, your number wraps around to about negative two billion give or take 10%.

Do you know anyone who has more than 2Billion so we dont have to worry about that?

(I am no where close, but some are.)

Presumably TV has been smart enough to use the long data type which can safely hold much bigger integers than the int data type.
