Data types

Can you explain why I get the following?

x??? = 4294934527
print HEX$(x???)

Answer: FFFF7FFF as expected


x??? = 4294934528
print HEX$(x???)

Answer: 8000 Why not FFFF8000

What version are you using? I copied & pasted your code and I got FFFF8000. I am using 8.0. Don't know if it's a bug or not.

I'm using PBDOS 3.5

The help for hex$ in pb3.5 says it only covers -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647; ie
long interger range. When I try your code I get err 6 overflow at print Hex$(x???)

You will get the overflow condition if you have error checking turned on in options.
