# SIFR-INT-0011: Temporary bigint transition alias used.

> Temporary bigint transition alias used.

`SIFR-INT-0011` belongs to the **Integer model** diagnostic family. It means: temporary bigint transition alias used.

## Why It Happens

Sifr separates exact integers from fixed-width integers. This diagnostic fires when an integer value, conversion, or operation violates that model.

<Info>
  Use `sifr --explain SIFR-INT-0011` locally to see the renderer's exact message template and any machine-applicable suggestions for the compiler version you are running.

## Erroneous Code

```python theme={null}
small: int8 = 200
```

## How To Fix It

Choose an integer type whose range fits the value, and make lossy or fallible numeric conversions explicit.

## Fixed Code

```python theme={null}
small: int8 = 127
wide: int = 200
```
