Overflow of Integer expression? what does this mean?

-----------------------------------

K so I keep getting this error, but I dont know what it means, thus it is hard to fix.

heres the line of code


 holder := (1 - (reference ** 2 - longest ** 2 - distance ** 2) / (-2 * longest * distance))


So anyone know how to fix this, or even what the error means? I can prob fix it if I know what it means.

The error means you are dealing with an integer that is greater than maxint or less than minint.  Try doing put maxint or put minint to see what the values for these numbers are, or check the Help file.  
To fix it, you could try making your integer variables real numbers.  Turing doesn't mind really big real numbers :)
As you can see:

put maxint + 1

gives you an error, but this doesn't:

put intreal (maxint) + 1

Hope that helps,

okay thanks, i changed my ints used in that line of code to reals, and now I dont get that error anymore.
I do get a different one, but I think I can fix it.
