I am trying to time my solution progress, and am getting strange type conversion problems. This code returns a negative time. What is wrong?

int cplexstart;

execute {
var temptime= new Date();
cplexstart=temptime.getTime();
writeln("Time: ", cplexstart);
}

you get a negative value because of the overflow.

If you wrote

float cplexstart;

instead

then you would get a positive value
