How to check if integer multiplication will overflow in TypeScript

Answer 1

function multiplyWillOverflow(x: number, y: number) {
    if (x === 0) return false;

    if (y > Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER / x) return true;
    if (y < Number.MIN_SAFE_INTEGER / x) return true;

    return false;
}

let x: number = 3, y: number = 14727836;
console.log(multiplyWillOverflow(x, y) ? "true" : "false");

x = 133883;
y = 97967967891872783;
console.log(multiplyWillOverflow(x, y) ? "true" : "false");

 
 
/*
run:
 
"false" 
"true" 
 
*/
