Hello to everyone.
When I have to calculate the average of two integer numbers, first i have to add them. Sometimes an overflow occurs. One technique maybe to compare the result to one of the numbers, if result is lower, an overflow is recognized.
Is this good style or better use Assembler?
In Assembly, the Carry flag signals if there was an overflow during an addition. There is no need to do any comparison.
Now, if you were to do the same in C, then yes, you would need to compare a number and the result.
