Calc with e
e.g.

Code: Select all

var1 := 12
var2 := 4e7     ; 40000000
MsgBox, % var1 * var2

v1 just requires a decimal point, as documented:

Code: Select all

var1 := 12
var2 := 4.e7     ; 40000000
MsgBox, % var1 * var2

Your code already works in v2.

Code: Select all

k := 234567898765433456789876543456 * 1
MsgBox % k

why?

so that is the limit :-p

Code: Select all

var1 := 12
var2 := 4.e7     ; 40000000
MsgBox, % var1 * var2

gives me 480000000.000000

why?

That's a good question. You should ask yourself it before posting. For instance, "Why am I posting in this thread?" (Ideally you'd find an answer that leads you to post in a relevant thread and in the appropriate forum.)

Also, your number is too large. This is covered under Variable Capacity and Memory.
