      Unfortunately the bar was built on long int so it overflowed 23 times and landed on about 1.2 billion.

      One billion, two-hundred fifteen million, seven-hundred fifty-two thousand, two-hundred-something bottles of beer on the wall, one billion, two-hundred fifteen million, seven-hundred fifty-two thousand, two-hundred-something bottles of beer! Take one down, pass it around…

      One less bottle of beer on the wall :)

        I wonder what would happen if it was a singed long, and it landed somewhere in the negatives after overflowing multiple times?

        Negative forty-eight thousand, six hundred thirty-three bottles of beer on the wall,

        Negative forty-eight thousand, six hundred thirty-three bottles of beer

        You take one down, pass it around,

        Negative forty-eight thousand, six hundred thirty-four bottles of beer on the wall

          Well, silly me, I should have specified that I did my calculation with signed long, though it shouldn’t affect the outcome much given my rounding at the hundreds.

          I like the idea of beer debt to the wall, though!
