Integer overflow: Examples, Methods to address integer overflow problems & Origin

In computer programming, an integer overflow occurs when an arithmetic operation on integers attempts to create a numeric value that is outside of the range that can be represented in the space allocated for the result – either higher than the maximum or lower than the minimum representable value.
