This is the expected behavior. Happens because it's not parsed as a single negative number, but a positive number (and 2147483648 needs to be a float) that is then negated afterwards. So it's treated more like -(2147483648). Hope that helps explain what's going on. :-) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-03-25 14:28:33] vivekanandan8 at yahoo dot com Description: ------------ Generally when integer number exceed(overflows), it is converted to float,But for the number -2147483648 the Integer can hold, but converted to float.
