Checked C# overflow

Using the 'checked' keyword in C#, you can check for an overflow.

checked

{

int a = someInt * someOtherInt;

}

This will check if there is an overflow.

You cannot check a nested method or something similar.

checked

{

int a = SomeMethod(b, c);

}

This will not check for overflow.

If you nest the check block in a try-catch. You can catch the overflow error.

try

{

checked

{

int a = someInt * someOtherInt;

}

}

catch (OverflowException)

{

// do something.

}

This is how to check for an overflow.
