ok i figured it out

the points for killpoints and killperflag points added together and multiplied and alot of math...was too high. i believe solo said this before. thanks anyways.

Simply put, if you set the bounties too high, they roll over to the negative spectrum...[quote]

Wait, so you mean there's a max to positive numbers? There's another positive <-> negative interger point besides zero?

It just depends on how the program "looks" at the value.
A book is small compared to a house, but the book's big compared to an ant (that doesn't have much to do with what you're asking though, and yeah, it's a great explaination, I know).

An int type (4 bytes) has the ability to store more data than a short type (2 bytes), of course. And depending on how the program looks at the value (as a signed or unsigned) it can be negative (signed) or not (unsigned).

Code: Show/Hide

max_unsigned_int = 4294967295
max_unsigned_int += 1 = 0

max_signed_int = 2147483647
max_signed_int += 1 = -2147483648

max_unsigned_short = 65535
max_unsigned_short += 1 = 0

max_signed_short = 32767
max_signed_short += 1 = -32768

So, yes, 0 isn't always what it goes back to.
It's pretty silly how Continuum handles points, obviously.

So, if I was to take 128, add 1, I'll be at -1 not -128?
And if I was at -128 and add 1, I'll be at 1 not 128?

I was being sarcastic.

Ugh, all of this reminds me of the IB CS exam where one of the problems was representing -113 as a floating point number using a 6 bit mantissa and a 4 bit exponent.

What did you have to do? Just give the hex value for mantissa and exponent? That sounds easy enough to me.

Just curious, what material was there on the IB exam? I would have taken IB CS, but they switched from C++ to Java that year for the AP.

Ops, yeah, 127 and 32767.
Just did a division to 2 and forgot to take one off the positive.
Anyway, so if I was right, then WTF that nimrod cyan is bullshitting about?
I knew there's a good reason I consider him an idiot.

I'm sorry, I see what you were saying now. I was thinking of -127 as the "highest negative number", I guess I'm just weird like that.

My bad.

Gravitron · Posted: Sun Sep 04, 2005 4:07 pm Post subject:

Yeah, your brain works on double negative, it goes like : duuurr highest negative that must mean the highest aboslute number and throw a minus infront of it, regardless of mathematical realities being that low is always in declining order whilst high is always placed on the incrementing order...duuuurrrrrr
Lowest negative between -10 and 10 is -1, because 1 is the like lowest number, no -1 is not highest, duurrrrr, -127 that's highest negative, not lowest, duuurrrrr.

Allow me to reiterate: MORON!
