What is "int truncation" anyway? Overflow?
- riffraff 13y agoI believe he means the stuff that happens in js like 111111111111111110000 + 1111 = 111111111111111110000; EDIT: not a javascript specific thing, rather a float one, methinks
- chimeracoder 13y agoTo clarify, they are basic floating-point errors from C that happen to be errors for integers as well in Javascript, because Javascript does not support fixed-precision integers.
