To convert DEC

[quixote79]

Msgbox(0, "", DEC("CEBDC6BE"))

I think the result may be 3468543678 but AutoIt said -826423618.

What's wrong??

This has to do with the size of the number. From the help file:

Integers (whole numbers) can also be represented in hexadecimal notation by preceding the integer with 0x as in 0x409 or 0x4fff (when using hex notation only 32-bit numbers are valid).

What this means is that the largest number available in hex notation is 0x7FFFFFFF (or 2147483647 in decimal). 0x80000000 through to 0xFFFFFFFF are reserved for negative numbers (where 0xFFFFFFFF is -1, 0xFFFFFFFE is -2 etc.).

Then there is no way to get 3468543678? Edited July 23, 2005 by quixote79

from Help file for DEC function:

Remarks

The function only works with numbers that fit in a 32 bit signed integer (-2147483648 to 2147483647)

anything beyond that range will require custom coding.
