Hi.

Noting that:

Quote:

int arg
The argument may be any numeric value. The integer part of arg is determined, and then the low order bits of that integer value up to the machine word size are returned as an integer value. For reference, the number of bytes in the machine word are stored in the wordSize element of the tcl_platform array.

mathfunc manual page - Tcl Mathematical Functions

Stripping the statements down to this:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env tclsh

# @(#) tcl1     Demonstrate tclsh feature.

puts stdout ""
set version [ info tclversion ]
set message " Hello, world from tclsh ($version)"
puts stdout $message

set first 123456789110000
set next  1234

set sum [expr {$first+$next}]
puts " Sum of $first plus $next is $sum"

produces:

Code:

./tcl1

 Hello, world from tclsh (8.6)
 Sum of 123456789110000 plus 1234 is 123456789111234

On a system like:

Code:

OS, ker|rel, machine: Linux, 3.16.0-4-amd64, x86_64
Distribution        : Debian 8.7 (jessie) 
tclsh 8.6

Best wishes ... cheers, drl
