User:Intgr/2147483647

The number 2147483647 is a number preceded by 2147483646 and followed by -2147483648. As such, it's the biggest number in existence. Curiously enough, some people believe that it's followed by 2147483648, but this claim has been proven false by computer scientists.

Proof

Now what kind of an idiot would bother with mathematical proofs if one can use a computer?!

#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
  int x = 2147483647;
  printf("%d + 1 = %d\n", x, x + 1);
  return 0;
}

Which outputs all the proof we need: 2147483647 + 1 = -2147483648

Q.E.D.
