VB.NET App: Validate Integer Range

[karthickbabu]

Hi

I done a Factorial Program in VB.NET. It works properly. If i give above than 12 factorial, it shows arithmetic exception. How can i check the Integer Range in VB.NET. I search in Web, finally i got Range Validator Control. But I am not having this control in my system, i am using VB.NET 2005 version. I am using conversion type also using Option Strict Statement.

But not working till. kindly any suggestion



Hope your Reply

What exactly is your exception error message?
Integer Data Type has a limited size range....howeve r 12! should fit into this range.

Are you sure your factorial program is working properly?

I get this error message "Arithmetic Operattion Resulted in an Overflow"
My Factorial Program is Working from 1 to 12 but if i gives from 13 then only shows exception error message.

Did you read the link I posted previously?

Every variable has to store its value into memory slot. Each variable type is given a specific amount of space to store this value.

Because of this, the maximum number that you can store in an integer is
2,147,483,647

13! results in 6,227,020,800.

This means that the number is too big to store in the memory that you have allocated for your result. This is why you are getting an overflow message...the value simply doesn't fit into the space you've given it (like pouring too much water into a cup)

Consider using a Long data type instead of Integer.

Yes i read that link what u post at last. Then i change the integer data type to long data type.

Thanks for your reply

Are you still having problems?
Or did the change to the Long data type fix the problem?

No now its working properly upto long range type
