Sterling,
You're absolutely rignt. I tested it with up to 11 digit whole numbers with decimals, positive and negative, and it accepts them.
Where did I get the idea that INT could not handle numbers larger than the integer limit of 32k? I checked my manual, which is QuickBasic 4.0, although I'm running 4.5, and it says that it returns AN INTEGER. I even had underlined the word INTEGER. Maybe 4.0 had that restriction. Who knows?
In any event, SORRY GUYS FOR THE BOGUS CHALLENGE INFORMATION.
