How to check if integer addition will overflow in TypeScript

Answer 1

function addingWillOverflow(x: number, y: number) {
    return ((x > 0) && (y > Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER - x)) || 
           ((x < 0) && (y < Number.MIN_SAFE_INTEGER - x));
}

let x: number = 39839299, y: number = 1472783642;
console.log(addingWillOverflow(x, y) ? "true" : "false");

x = 9007199254740991; // Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER
y = 1872783642;
console.log(addingWillOverflow(x, y) ? "true" : "false");
