How can I check if (a + b) is larger than (max long long)
By tgbaodeeptry, history, 5 years ago, In English

Assume I have 3 long long varables a, b and n. And them are approximately (max long long)( 2.10^18 ).

So, are there any ways that I can check if a + b is larger than n?

Thanks so much guys

Yes. Since a + b > n means a > n - b you can just check that.

ive seen people use logs like log(a) + log(b) >= 18 or something along those lines. personally I just ll overflow each time so I don't use it
