On Exit question

[Kernelpanic]

That reminds me of an error that apparently occurred quite often in the days of 8 and 16 bit computers (from Code Complete First Edition): The programmer didn't take into account that the result of a calculation no longer fits into the relevant variable.

The program works correctly as long as the sum stays within the bounds of an integer. A nice logical mistake! 

Code: (Select All)

'Beispiel fuer Ueberlauf - 3. Juni 2023

Option _Explicit

Dim As Integer wert1, wert2, ergebnis

Locate 2, 2
Print "Example for an overflow"

Locate 4, 2
Input "Number between 1 to 32768: ", wert1

Locate 5, 2
Input "Number between 1 to 32768: ", wert2

ergebnis = wert1 + wert2

Locate CsrLin + 2, 2
Print Using "Das Ergebnis = ###,###"; ergebnis

End
