# Asterisk Project : Numbers Vs. Strings

Added by mdavenport , edited by mdavenport on Aug 31, 2010

Tokens consisting only of numbers are converted to 'long double' if possible, which are from 80 bits to 128 bits depending on the OS, compiler, and hardware. This means that overflows can occur when the numbers get above 18 digits (depending on the number of bits involved). Warnings will appear in the logs in this case.
