thank you though isn't is an odd number i thought if there was one it would be be a nice round number

It is a nice round number, if you look at it in hex decimal which is 7FFF. It could be 65535 (FFFF) but the last bit (8000 or 10000000 in binary) is to mark a true or false (yes or no, whichever you prefer). I personally think it is to mark the building as premium so FFFF would be a building that is size 32767 (7FFF) + premium (8000). You will need to ask a programmer for Kapilands what really is stored with the building size.

you are correct... It is indeed a binary number...

it allways is a binary number... evry max something in a game
and it allways looks wierd (ex 2,173,xxx,xxx)

isn't binary 1s and 0s. Also i thought that was outdated and hasn't been used in years every one programs on Java pearl and other such programmes

yea... binary IS 1 and 0

0 = 0
1 = 1
2 = 10
3 = 11
4 = 100
8 = 1000
16 = 10,000
32 = 100k
64 = 1m
...

There are 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.

evry think in electricity is based on 1 and 0, like computers -> programs

That is my favorite binary quote.

Binary is as outdated as the hardware that uses it. The only way for binary to disappear is to destroy every electronic device and hardware in existence (including digital clocks and such). A hexdecimal is made up of 4 bits and it can store 2^4 different data. A byte is 8 bits and can store data up to 2^8. A kilobyte contains 2^10 (1,024, not 1,000) bytes, a megabyte contains 2^10 kilobytes or 2^20 (1,048,576, not 1,000,000) bytes, a gigabyte contains 2^30 bytes, a terabyte contains 2^40 bytes, and so on. No matter where you look, binary will never be outdated.

binary is essentially the basic of all computing, since all the electronic circuits use 0 (no current through circuit) or 1 (current through circuit). there has also been some experimenting with ternary (0,1 and -1) in soviet union but it didnt work out because it was too complicated

and for your information, all programming languages essentially convert any input from humans into 0 and 1.

but binary being outdated is a nice quote eheheh
