I put in enough money to cover 3 months of maintanance into my three medium shops. 100,000 I think is what I put into each building.

I know its over 2 million... doubt there is a max

No, there has to be a maximum, but if it is over 2 million, then the closest it is likely to be is 4,294,967,295.

Let's pool our money and find out! ;-)

Isn't the number "4,294,967,295" how large a number in Java can be when declaring a variable (depending on type of varriable)..... taking intro to java so not sure... I could be smoking crack

It's not specific to a programming language, it's specific to the size of the data container holding the variable. Integers, longs, doubles, etc - really say "Here's a number, but here's XYZ bits used to define the number." With 8 bits (one byte), your highest number possible is what -- 32k?

So, all said, it depends on what type of numeric data structure the devs used to define the maint cost field in the database.

ahh yeah I knew it was something like that..... just didnt know the exact number... just kind of intresting I suppose... thx for the explanation

Uh... 8 bits = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 = 256

You probably mean 15 bits, which is: 32,758, or 16 bits:65,536.

My guess is their database has 32bit integers which maxes you at 4,294,967,296 -1 (for the "0") = 4,294,967,295 credits.

Hope it is that high, we use pay mantenance in our PA hall as our treasury.

You're right - 16 bits is the 32k, and 8bit is:

1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128, and that said, yeah - it's only 256 (11111111).
