Integer arithmetic - a question

[chris hermansen]

Hello all,

I notice that in GNU Algol 68 integer arithmetic wraps around, that is

int i = max_int;
int j = i + 1;
puts("i = " + whole(i,0) + "'n");
puts("j = " + whole(j,0) + "'n");
skip

prints

i = 2147483647
j = -2147483648

This is great for my hash functions, but I'm wondering if the intent is to
keep this approach going forward?

Thanks in advance!
