-3

I'm attempting to make a game in which I need to store a large number. I am currently using a int but the number keeps turning negative. Is there a reason this would be happening?

    Its likely that you may be encountering an integer overflow, but theres no way to figure that out unless you show us the code. – Mercury Platinum Mar 22 '19 at 18:30

This could be because your value is exceeding the range that a int can store. Try using the long variable rather then int
