Integer overflow C# with Example
There is a maximum capacity an integer can store. And when you go over that limit, it will loop back to the negative side. For int, it is 2147483647 int x = int.MaxValue; //MaxValue is 2147483647 //make operation explicitly unchecked so that the example also x = unchecked(x + 1); works when the check for arithmetic overflow/underflow is enabled in the project settings Console.WriteLine(x); //Will print -2147483648 Console.WriteLine(int.MinValue); //Same as Min value For any integers out of this range use namespace System.Numerics which has datatype BigInteger.
