I'm sorry to bother you busy people with this probably obvious question, but the compiler wont give me anything except:
Arithmetic.java:4: error: null: 146367789778966
int myNumber = 3 + 146367789778966;
^
1 error
Code
public class Arithmetic {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int myNumber = 3 + 146367789778966;
System.out.println(myNumber);
}
}
If anyone can tell me whats wrong, that would be great!
146367789778966 is too large to fit in an int type.
The max value an int can hold is 2,147,483,647 so the value can't fit inside the int and your code throws the error.
You could use a larger data type like long.

The max value for an int is 2,147,483,647. So your number is just too darn big.
Integer.MAX_VALUE is actually 2147483647
146367789778966 is bigger than Integer.MAX_VALUE so it cannot be stored in int type
An IDE like IntelliJ will warn you about this :
Error:(10, 28) java: integer number too large: 146367789778966 // what IntelliJ gives me
You can use for ex BigInteger :
BigInteger b = new BigInteger("146367789778966");
b = b.add(BigInteger.valueOf(3));
System.out.println(b) // 146367789778969
