ok, a little background first, im using hash tables to store data from a text based, dcc chat game... part of the game im tracking a total.. and i found a bug, but im not 100% sure on the threshold...
is there a max value for a hash table entry?? if so, what is it? how can I avoid this? or is it indeed, a bug?
NOTE: it doesnt matter on the table, or item name, but I have put down here what im using...
Create a table, and an entry... set the value for the entry as 2099721840
/hmake stats 1000
/hadd stats tfactprod 2099721840
increse the item "tfactprod" by X (which is tallyd up in a while loop)
var %tot = $calc(%tot + %playertot)
(in this case, %tot = 74040191)
increse the hash table entry by %tot
/hinc stats tfactprod %tot
(have also used /hadd stats tfactprod $calc($hget(stats,tfactprod) + %tot) with the same outcome)
how echo back the table item...
/echo -a $hget(stats,tfactprod)
it will reply with -2121205265
WHY is it coming back with a minus figure??
2099721840 + 74040191 = 2173762031
even the figure, ignoring the minus is low..
any ideas??
-- can anyone find the threshold where it goes into minus figures etc?? .. basically, i need help :P
