Hello,

can somebody please explain the difference between the following two?

(def imax (Integer/MAX_VALUE))
(+ imax imax)

gives 4294967294

but

(+ (Integer/MAX_VALUE) (Integer/MAX_VALUE))

results in integer overflow
   [Thrown class java.lang.ArithmeticException]

Shouldnt this be the same?

Thank you, alux
