Underflow / overflow terms are used incorrectly #108
Description
03-Style - line 368
The text mentions "integer underflow". There is no such thing. Underflow (that is, truncation to zero) happens only for floating point types.

Curious. I always thought
integer underflowmeant passing the lowest representable number. Not sure if I am too happy with calling itinteger overfloworinteger wrap-aroundinstead.Xeverous commentedon Sep 4, 2019
Think of
overflowas an absolute value that is too large to fit inside.
