> He can also get a few more ounces out of the number (if it's positive) by, as Jim recommends, having it as an unsigned as well. Nonetheless, I think we need to see what the actual problem is, before presenting these solutions (though they _are_ good food for thought for sure). I agree – it's good to know the problem. I'm pretty new at this and was just trying to offer a simple solution to his original countdown problem. Since he only counted from 1,000,000 to 0, I didn't think he would need the extra available with unsigned. On anything more advanced, I will DEFINITELY wait for your, Jim's, or another more experienced programmer's advice 🙂 Wolf Pup – Howlin' at the Net, Six-Packin' & Diggin'
