An overflow occurs when you attempt a mathematical operation that results in a number that cannot be stored in the variable type you are using.
C# projects only check for overflows if you have explicitly configured the project to do so (because it slighly slows down your application). To do this, you have to go into the Project Properties page, Build tab, click Advanced, and then choose "Check for arithmetic overflow/underflow"
If you set this option, then this code, which attempts to add 1 to a integer that is already at the maximum value that the 32-bit integer type can hold, would cause an overflow:
int a = int.MaxValue;
a++;

How do you detect overflow when adding two numbers in 2s complement form?
You can detect overflow if the result turns out to be negative (which is the same as checking to see if the sign bit is 1). For example if you tried to add 5 and 6 in to 4-bit 2s complement, you would get 0101 + 0110 = 1011, which is a negative number since the sign bit (the 1 on the left) is a 1. This is an overflow.
Why does the power steering fluid overflow the reservior when engine is running on a 1999 acura 3.2tl?

Is the sealed cooling system in a 1997 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme supposed to have a vent in the overflow reservoir?
Yes there should be a overflow vent in the overflow reservoir. Think about it this why, if it was not there and pointing downward. If during a overheat period the lid were to pop off. The result would be a hot water volcano. Trust me you don't want that. Good Luck and Remember.Change Your Mind, Not Your Oil.Use the First In Synthetic Motor Oil's.See My Bio For more information.
