B4J Question No overflow?

[LucaMs]

    Dim v As Double
    ' v = Power(2, 2000)
    v = 12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890
    Log(NumberFormat2(v, 1, 2, 2, True))

NumberFormat expects a double value. There is no overflow in this case, though it might not be 100% accurate.

 

[LucaMs]

' v = Power(2, 2000)

v = 12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890

Those two?

 

[Erel]

Yes. Try it.
The output will be:

12,345,678,901,234,567,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

Yes. Try it.
The output will be:

12,345,678,901,234,567,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

I should be less concise ?

I meant:
"How come those assignments don't give an overflow error?"
(The NumberFormat2 just served me as a test)
