Is there a limit in sourcemod to how large a number can be? Quick question that I couldn't find on Google.

I *believe* it can't be larger than 2147483647 (MAX_INTEGER-is that defined in Sourcepawn?).

Ok thanks. Was previously using a website's ID numbers as integers instead of strings... bad idea.

In Sourcepawn, there are two data types: the cell and the String. Anything that's not declared as a String is a cell. Cells are 4 bytes (32 bits) long.

00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000

32 binary digits. Because it is a signed integer (meaning we can use negative numbers), the absolute value of the number can only be expressed by 31 of those digits. So the maximum possible number can be represented by: (2^31)-1 , or 2147483647.

The min for 4 bytes signed is –2147483648, btw ;p

(such as SP's cells)
