Long Integer

[pnsreee]

Hi All,
I have the following code,
[code=perl]
$min=1234567890 1234567890;
$max=1234567890 1234567899;
print "max=$max, min=$min \n";
if ($min < $max)
{
print "Output : ok \n";
}
else
{
print "Output : not ok \n";
}
[/code]
Output:
max=1.234567890 12346e+19, min=1.234567890 12346e+19
Output : not ok

Why The output is in floating point. How can I solve this Issue.

What are you expecting the results to be?

Hi,

when I try to compare the values I am getting the wrong results. The difference between $max and $min is "0"

You are only comparing to see if it is less than, do a check to see if is is equal, less than or greater than.

[CODE=perl]my $min = 123456789012345 67890;
my $max = 123456789012345 67899;

print "max=$max, min=$min \n";
if ($min == $max) {
print "Output : Equal \n";
} elsif ($min < $max) {
print "Output : Less Than \n";
} elsif ($min > $max) {
print "Output: Greater Than\n";
} else {
print "Output not equal, not less than not greater than\n";
}[/CODE]
