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!
