Topic: If 32-bit machines can only handle numbers up to 2^32, why can I write 1000000000000 (trillion)...

... without my machine crashing.

32 bit computers can only store numbers up to 2^32.
This is why we have run out of ipv4 addresses and have entered the 64 bit era.

However, the number 2^32 is not as large as the number 1 trillion (1000000000000) which I seem to be able to display fine without my machine crashing.

Can someone explain why this is?

Well?
