Huge Integers

Post by CoreySchroeder » Mon Oct 05, 2015 11:27 pm

Hey guys,

I'm trying to see if there is a work around for the default max integer in LiveCode.
I keep getting "INF" as a result instead of a number - I assume that is because I'm exceeding the max allowed.

Is there any way to get around this, or am I out of luck?

Check out the (rather long) recent thread "Routines for very large numbers". Read through it for terrific information, collect the appropriate handlers for your toolbox.
