I think I said that the accumulator contains value from 0 to 18446744073709551615, so will the smaller truth machine work? --None1 (talk) 06:21, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

I'm actually quite confused by this. I see that x is defined as a long long, so 18446744073709551615 is technically true as a maximum for the accumulator, but on line 87 of the interpreter you effectively truncate the left most 56 bits, right? So the even though the effect of an operator may bring the accumulator to a value above 255, before the next operator can be reached, the accumulator will be brought down to that [0, 255] range. Am I understanding this correctly? --ApisNecros (talk) 16:20, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

That was my mistake, I looked at my first revision with the interpreter, it doesn't have that line. (Anyway, maybe in future I will change it back to 0-255) --None1 (talk) 23:08, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
