why is 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000 * 1000 divided by 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000 not equal to 1000 in Java?
Because the multiplication overflows 32 bit integers. In 64 bits it's okay:
public class Test
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int intProduct = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000 * 1000;
long longProduct = 24L * 60 * 60 * 1000 * 1000;
System.out.println(intProduct); // Prints 500654080
System.out.println(longProduct); // Prints 86400000000
}
}
Obviously after the multiplication has overflowed, the division isn't going to "undo" that overflow.
