Hi,
I am stuying Dennis Ritchie. I came across the following statement.
Can anybody elaborate it more please:
"The direction of truncation for / and the sign of the result for %
are machine-dependent for negative operands, as is the action taken on
overflow and underflow"
what do they mean by direction of truncation
what do they mean by overflow and underflow
thanks in advance
