Trouble in reading integer

Hello, everyone

In my project, I have to read integer such as "2148312002" or "2148312010"

Then if I read data like "2148312002" using Import Data

and I chose integer type for this value

Then the value changes to

2147483647

after reading this data.

I guess any integer value greater than 2148312002

will change to 2147483647

But, if I read this data and change the type to polynominal,

it is OK.

However, I want to read stuff like "2148312002" as integer.


So please find the reason why this happen for me


Thank you and have a nice day

    Hi @Rapidminerpartner,

    2147483647 is the maximum positive value for a 32-bit signed binary integer in computing.

    As a workaround for now you can also use a Numerical To Real operator. They won't see the difference without going to the statistics.

    If this huge integer is a unique identifier (ID), it is better to be converted to polynominal.

    Hi,

    You cannot read it as an integer, as Integer is limited to 2^31 = 2,147,483,647 in Java.
    You can read it as a real, then it will be fine.

    Regards,
    Marco

    Hello, yyhuang and Marco_Boeck


    Oh, I understand.

    I forgot that number is about 2^31

    Thank you very much for your help and have a nice day!
