They are so insanely stupid. if (result > INT_MAX / 10) That first conditional breaks the AI's brain, I guess. Result represents the previous single digit added to the rolling result. MAX_INT is 2,147,483,647. That line stops it with a check of that rolling result against 214,748,364. If it's (result) greater than 214,748,364 it returns. AI doesn't understand that. `int TryInt(char *get, size_t size, int *outInt)` `{ // printf("Bytes = %d\n", size);` ` if (!get || !outInt)` ` return 1;` ` int i = 0;` ` int result = 0;` ` int sign = 1;` ` if (get[0] == '-') {` ` sign = -1;` ` i = 1;` ` }` ` while (get[i] != '\0' && get[i] != '\n' && i < size) {` ` if (get[i] < '0' || get[i] > '9') /* Confirm (by negation) that we have a number in this [i] position. */` ` return -1;` ` /* INT_MAX = 2,147,483,647` ` * INT_MIN = -2,147,483,648 */` ` if (result > INT_MAX / 10) /* Confirm our current result does not exceed 214,748,364 (INT_MAX / 10), which would automatically be wrong. */` ` return -2;` ` int curDigit = get[i] - 48; /* This is the integer offset for char -> # | i.e. 0 = 48 .. 9 = 57 */` ` if (result == INT_MAX / 10 && ((sign == 1 && curDigit > 7) || (sign == -1 && curDigit > 8)))` ` return -2;` ` result = (result * 10) + ((int) get[i] - 48);` ` i++;` ` }` ` if (i > 0)` ` *outInt = result * sign;` ` return !(i > 0);` `}`
