byte + byte = unknown result
c#
Solution
C# code is `unchecked` by default, so that overflows will silently wrap around rather than throwing an exception.
You can get an exception by wrapping your code in a `checked` block, at the cost of a slight performance hist.
Problem
Good day SO! I was trying to add two byte variables and noticed weird result. ``` byte valueA = 255; byte valueB = 1; byte valueC = (byte)(valueA + valueB); Console.WriteLine("{0} + {1} = {2}", valueA.ToString(), valueB.ToString(), valueC.ToString()); ``` when i tried to run the program, It displays ``` 255 + 1 = 0 ``` What happened to the above code? Why doesn't the compiler throws an `OverflowException`? How can I possibly catch the exception? I'm a VB guy and slowly migrating to C# :) Sorry for the question.
