Set maximum value of NSInteger

Question

*Sorry if this has been posted before but I have been looking for 30 mins now and cant find anything*

Hi, I have an NSInteger called currentcoins and I want the coins maximum value to be 999. I have tried everything including

#undef NSIntegerMax
#define NSIntegerMax 999

but the NSInteger isn't taking any notice of this. Has anyone got any solutions? (I'm doing this for iOS)

Thanks in advance.

You should never ever redefine a system define like NSIntegerMax. This is set by the type of system you are building your app for (32 or 64 bit).

Just define your own max like:

#define kMaxCoins 999

I've defined this but the NSInteger is still going above 999 – OnkaPlonka Aug 13 '13 at 09:30
Oh, I haven't got a check in. Sorry I'm a bit thick somethimes – OnkaPlonka Aug 13 '13 at 09:31
Ok `if (currentcoins < 90) { currentcoins = currentcoins + 1; }` I have 90 for testing purposes – OnkaPlonka Aug 13 '13 at 09:32
