Title: A little C help
Post by: Fett101 on 24 February 2004, 07:15

Doing this thing to calculate the number of seconds since a given year using int and then float. They're both giving me different numbers.

Code: [Select]

Gives 31536000 like it should.

Code: [Select]

gives me 13184.

Perhaps it's just the data type limitation, but I coulda sworn int's could hold larger numbers...

Actually either should work. The maximum value of a 32 bit integer is about 2 billion.
