Need Help on Simple Coding

Hi coders, I'm a coding newbie, just started to learn coding a few days ago. I intend to call out the information of an account's ACCOUNT_LIMIT_ORDERS, after compiled, it indicates a "possible loss of date due to type of conversion" warning message.

Could you please advise how to solve it ? Thank you.

void OnStart()
{
int accountMaxOrder = AccountInfoInteger(ACCOUNT_LIMIT_ORDERS);
MessageBox("Account MaxOpenOrders (Open + Pending) : "+IntegerToString(accountMaxOrder));
}

try this minor change:

int accountMaxOrder = (int)AccountInfoInteger(ACCOUNT_LIMIT_ORDERS);

Thanks RedLineFred , yes, no more warning, it works ! Could you please explain what is the logic behind ? (I already specified the integer value : int accountMaxOrder, but why need to emphasize another time of (int) ?)

The funtion AccountInfoInteger() returns long, in order to prevent the warning message, you need to explicitly cast it to the type int.
