I was wondering how long it would take for someone to notice that. :>
If anyone feels like defining
set I2, -2147483648
print I2
print "\\n"
set I3, 4294967295
print I3
print "\\n"
end
CODE
305419896
-1698898191
2147483647
-2147483648
-1
OUTPUT
I think that especting 4294967295 == -1 because they have the same
bit pattern
