Variables length

CompassesHelpMe

Whats the max length for a variable, and is it any different from a cloud variable?

Do this, set var to 1, then repeat one million set var to join (var) (var) and then, when finish, say length of var
Voilá

Voila!

You can always count on ou :{)

I don’t believe there’s a known limit.

Apparently, that's not true, I made a variable and following the concept of Ou's suggestion, I'm able to make it 1,000,000 (one million)+ letters long

I've probably exceeded the file size limit. So probably like Imaginarium said, there is no maxlength

johandsa2020

it crashes scratch when it exceeds the limit this script will crash it (only if the variable is visible) btw dont try it…

when green flag clicked
set [variable] to [1]
show variable [variable]
repeat (1000000)
set [variable] to (join (variable) (variable))
end
hide variable[variable]

idk the exact limit

I'd ssy tje limit is the RAM memory your device has.

The Wiki states that the limit is around 10,240, so it could be more or less than that.

Was the project able to save though?

Since lists can hold 200.000 items i don't think that vars cannot store 200.000 chars at least..
I could be probedly wrong, of course.

Cloud variables hold max 256 digits each.

No, its def more than 256. 256 can't crash a computer.

Actually cloud vars are capped to 256

scratchusername40

The limit is probably whatever your ram can hold

Ohh, they meant cloud variables.
I thought they meant regular.
So regular have no known limit, only your computer's power (Edit: or maybe scratch's file size?) , and cloud variables have a limit of 256!
Thanks all :)
